According to military sources, the rescue mission was launched after security operatives received credible intelligence on the location where the victims were being held. The troops reportedly carried out a coordinated operation, advancing into the forest and engaging suspected kidnappers.
Faced with the military's advance, the abductors were said to have fled the area, abandoning the victims. The rescued individuals were safely evacuated and given immediate medical attention before being reunited with their families.
Security officials stated that the operation forms part of sustained military offensives aimed at dismantling criminal hideouts and restoring peace in communities affected by kidnapping and banditry. They also noted that efforts are continuing to track down the fleeing suspects and recover any weapons or items left behind.
Residents of nearby communities commended the security forces for the successful operation, expressing hope that increased military presence would further reduce criminal activities in the area.
The military has urged members of the public to continue supporting security agencies by providing timely and credible information that can aid future operations. Authorities emphasized that community cooperation remains essential in the fight against kidnapping and other security threats.
The rescue comes amid intensified operations by the armed forces across several parts of the country, as security agencies continue working to protect lives, secure vulnerable communities, and bring perpetrators of violent crimes to justice.
