Monday, August 25, 2025 - A local hunter was injured during a joint rescue operation by the Nigerian Army to free two abducted seminarians from Ivianakpodi Minor Seminary, Agenebode, Edo State.
According to a post shared on X by security analyst Zagazola
Makama on Monday, the operation, supported by vigilantes and hunters, targeted
a suspected kidnappers’ hideout in the Alarke village area, beyond Awara in
Kogi State.
The source revealed that the troops, alongside local
vigilantes and hunters, advanced into the suspected location around 5:15 a.m.
on Sunday.
“During the operation, the team was ambushed by the
kidnappers, resulting in gunshot injuries to Mohammed Abubakar, a 30-year-old
hunter,” Makama wrote.
