Troops of the Nigerian Army have foiled kidnapping attempts and rescued several victims during separate operations in Plateau and Kaduna States, dealing a blow to criminal elements operating in the affected areas.

Operatives of the Nigerian military have successfully thwarted kidnapping attempts and freed a number of victims in coordinated operations carried out across parts of Plateau and Kaduna States.

The troops, acting on credible intelligence, reportedly engaged the criminal elements in a series of operations that led to the rescue of the captives and the disruption of the kidnappers' plans.

According to military sources, the swift response of the troops prevented the abductors from carrying out their criminal intentions, with the rescued victims regaining their freedom unharmed.

The operations form part of the ongoing efforts by the armed forces and other security agencies to tackle the menace of kidnapping, banditry and other violent crimes ravaging parts of the North-Central and North-West regions of the country.

The military reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining the offensive against criminal groups, assuring residents of the affected communities of improved security and protection of lives and property.

Authorities also commended the cooperation of local communities and the provision of timely intelligence, which they said played a crucial role in the success of the operations.

The security agencies urged citizens to continue to support the efforts of the troops by volunteering useful information that could aid the fight against criminality and help track down those behind the incessant attacks.

The rescued victims were said to have been reunited with their families, while efforts were ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects and bring them to justice.

The development comes amid growing concerns over the spate of kidnappings and attacks in several parts of the country, with security forces intensifying operations to restore peace and stability to affected communities.
