The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said its special forces have rescued seven kidnapped victims.
According to the statement by Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, Director of Public Relations and Information, the kidnapped victims, comprised of six females and a male, were rescued near Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State.
While the female victims said they were kidnapped from Paikoro in Niger State, the lone male among them stated that he was picked up against his will from Rijau in Niger State.
Gabkwet said the special forces were on patrol on August 6, 2023, near Birnin Gwari, when the terrorists, upon sighting them, abandoned their victims and fled into a nearby forest.
The victims were subsequently taken to NAF medical facility at Birnin Gwari for review and were released, but the male victim is still being observed.
