A combined team of Operation Hadarin Daji troops and the Nigerian AirForce on Saturday rescued a teacher and three students abducted at the Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri, Kebbi State.
The troops also killed one bandit and recovered nine motorcycles and four handsets from the fleeing bandits.
Director of Army Public Relations, Onyema Nwachukwu, disclosed this in an update on Sunday.
Nwachukwu further stated that more troops would be deployed to comb the forest.
He said: “One teacher and three students were rescued yesterday at Makuku, in the ongoing search and rescue operations. The troops also killed one bandit and recovered nine motorcycles and four handsets from the fleeing bandits.
“Additional troops have also been deployed to dominate the forest and deny the bandits freedom of action.
“Recall that two teachers and five students were earlier on Friday, June 18, 2021, rescued by the gallant troops in a coordinated firefight with the kidnappers.”
