Nigerian Army Rescues Kidnapped Victim in Enugu after Gun Battle
Troops of the Nigerian Army have rescued a kidnapped victim, Dr. Maxwell Ayim, in Enugu State.
TrackNews Media reports that Ayim was rescued unharmed on Thursday following a distress call to Nigerian Army troops at the Udi checkpoint from the police on the incident.
In a statement on Saturday, Lt.-Col. Jonah Unuakhalu, acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 82 Division, Nigerian Army, said that on arrival, the troops came in contact with the kidnappers.
Unuakhalu said that due to the troops’ superior fire, members of the criminal gang fled in disarray with gunshot wounds into the nearby bushes.
The army spokesman said that the gallant troops during further exploitation of the gang withdrawal route, found the victim abandoned by the gang.
“Troops proceeded to rescue the victim. He had since been reunited with his family after preliminary medical checks,” Unuakhalu said.
He urged law-abiding and good citizens of Enugu and the South-East region in general not to relent in providing timely, credible and reliable information to help end criminality within the region.
