A total of 33 individuals who were kidnapped in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State have been successfully rescued by the Joint Security Task Force operating in the region.
These victims had been abducted a few days ago by gunmen and were held captive in the forest pending ransom payments from their families.
The rescue operation was initiated following the directive of Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who hails from the same local government area. The joint security taskforce engaged with the bandits, resulting in the safe release of all 33 kidnapped victims.
