Four abducted people reportedly rescued in Plateau
Troops reportedly rescued four abducted people in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State following an alert on November 9, according to security reporter Zagazola Makama, who cited unnamed security sources.
In a report published on November 10, Makama said troops deployed at Sopp received information about suspected kidnappers operating along the Rafin Sanyi–Forest axis at about 10:40pm.
The account identified the troops as personnel of Sector 6, Operation Enduring Peace.
According to the report, suspected kidnappers blocked the road, abducted passengers and moved towards nearby high ground.
Makama’s sources said troops pursued the abductors, who abandoned the four victims and escaped during the pursuit.
The rescued people were reportedly taken to the troops’ location for safety and further assistance. The account did not provide a medical assessment or explicitly state that all four were unhurt.
Daily Post also carried Makama’s account. IDNN has not independently verified the operation or obtained a named military statement confirming it.
The reviewed report did not establish any arrests or casualties, the precise rescue time, or the victims’ subsequent whereabouts.
