Operation Hadarin Daji: Military Rescues Abducted Students and Workers from Federal University Gusau

In a daring and commendable operation, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji have successfully rescued a group of students and construction workers who were abducted from the Federal University Gusau in Zamfara State. The rescue operation, characterized by courage and precision, has brought relief and hope to the victims and their families. The group of abductees included seven female students from the Federal University Gusau, who had been held in captivity by criminals. Additionally, three construction workers from GUPRAN Engineering Services Ltd. were also among those kidnapped.

The news of their abduction sent shockwaves through the nation, highlighting the persistent security challenges faced by certain regions of Nigeria. However, the determined efforts of Operation Hadarin Daji have once again demonstrated the unwavering commitment of the Nigerian military to safeguarding the lives and well-being of citizens. In total, 13 students and three construction workers have now been freed from captivity. Some of them were intercepted by the military during the rescue operation, while others managed to find their way back to the school authorities. This collective effort, involving both the military and the victims themselves, underscores the resilience and determination to overcome adversity.

The rescued students represent various academic levels and fields of study, reflecting the diverse and promising educational community at the Federal University Gusau. Their abduction had disrupted their pursuit of knowledge and academic aspirations, but with their safe return, they can now continue their educational journeys. The bandits responsible for this heinous act had reportedly intended to transport some of the kidnapped students to a forest in Niger State and others to the Magami axis. However, their plans were thwarted when they encountered the courageous military personnel who engaged them in a confrontation.

The successful rescue operation not only marks a victory for the Nigerian military but also serves as a message to criminals and insurgents that the security forces are unwavering in their commitment to safeguarding the nation and its citizens.
