DSS, MILITARY FOIL ANOTHER MASS ABDUCTION IN KATSINA
Security forces have foiled another mass abduction attempt by armed bandits in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, rescuing 18 victims.
The victims, 14 females and four males, including children and toddlers were reportedly abandoned as the bandits fled after security operatives blocked their attack route.
Traditional rulers in Bakori, in a statement, commended the Military, DSS and local vigilantes for acting on intelligence to disrupt the attack.
At least seven fleeing bandits were reportedly injured, while a 14 year old rescued victim sustained a gunshot wound and is receiving treatment.
The latest operation comes less than two weeks after security forces foiled another mass abduction attempt in Gidan Iyado, Bakori, where 18 bandits were reportedly killed.
