Troops have rescued 14 kidnap victims during a military operation along the Lagos-Benin Expressway following an attack by suspected kidnappers.
The victims were freed after security personnel responded to a distress call and engaged the gunmen in a gun battle, forcing them to abandon their captives and flee into a nearby forest.
Military authorities said the rescued victims received immediate medical attention before being reunited with their families.
The troops also launched a pursuit of the fleeing suspects, with efforts ongoing to apprehend those responsible for the attack.
The military reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining operations aimed at tackling kidnapping and other violent crimes along major highways and across the country.
