Kaduna state troops of the Nigerian Army have rescued 10 persons abducted from the staff quarters of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) after 11 days in captivity.
They were abducted on March 6 when bandits invaded the FAAN staff quarters in the Ifira community, near the Kaduna airport.
The state’s commissioner for internal security and home affairs, SAMUEL ARUWAN confirmed their release but said precise details of the rescue location cannot be provided due to operational expediency.
He added that Governor NASIR EL-RUFAI has met with the rescued citizens “to encourage them, and assure them of the unwavering commitment of the Kaduna state government”.
However, the 39 students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka, who was abducted by bandits are still in captivity.
