Thursday, May 7, 2026 - Troops under Sector 1 have
successfully rescued a kidnap victim in Gwer West Local Government Area of
Benue State after responding swiftly to a distress call.
A military source disclosed that the incident happened
around 4:00 p.m. on May 4 in Naka town.
The source said personnel stationed at the Forward Operating
Base (FOB) Ahume were immediately deployed following reports of a kidnapping in
the community.
“On arrival, the kidnappers had fled the scene but abandoned
their victim due to the pressure mounted by the approaching troops,” the source
said.

and recovered a motorcycle as well as a cutting machine believed to have been
used by the attackers.
The items have since been returned to their owner, while the
