The troops of the Nigerian Army have successfully rescued 12 teenage girls abducted by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Mussa District of Uba Local Government Area, Borno State.
The victims, aged between 15 and 20, were kidnapped on 23 November while harvesting crops on their family farmlands and were freed on Saturday, 29 November, following a swift, intelligence-led operation by troops of Operation HADIN KAI in the southern Borno axis.
The statement reads, “the rescued girls have been evacuated to a secure military facility where they are receiving comprehensive medical care, psychological support and debriefing. Upon completion of these processes, they will be formally reunited with their families.
“Their recovery has brought immense relief to the community, which had been gripped by fear following the abduction.”
