Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji of the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with the operative of the Zamfara police command, have rescued four kidnapped students of the Federal University, Gusau (FUGUS).
This is contained in a statement issued by the information officer, Operation Hadarin Daji, Capt. Yahaya Ibrahim, in Gusau, on Sunday.
“The combined troops of Operation Hadarin Daji in conjunction with state police command have rescued the four kidnapped students of the Federal University Gusau (FUGUS), who were abducted at their off-campus hostels by the terrorists in Sabongida Community on Saturday.
The rescue was successfully achieved after the troops responded to the distress call on the incident.
