Operation Enduring Peace forces rescued three young women abducted in Makundang village, Mangor District, Plateau State, Nigeria. Fatigi Aguna, 19, Lovina Bawa, 18, and Barsheba Appolos, 18, were found unharmed after a search-and-rescue operation conducted by Sector 5 troops, according to security sources cited by Leadership.
The military was deployed on Friday after an abduction was reported and made contact with the kidnappers, who abandoned their victims before fleeing into the bush under pressure from the security forces. Captain Polycarp Chinonso Oteh, spokesman for Operation Enduring Peace, confirmed the intervention and said the three women were subsequently reunited with their families.
Troops are continuing their search for the fleeing kidnappers, while security operations continue in the area. Captain Oteh called on residents to promptly pass on to security forces any information about suspicious movements or activities.
