Troops of the Joint Task Force, Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), have rescued two victims from suspected kidnappers who attempted to abduct motorists and other road users along the Naka–Ahume Road in Benue State.
The rescue followed a firefight between the troops and the suspected kidnappers during a fighting patrol on October 24, 2026, forcing the assailants to abandon their captives and flee.
A statement issued on Monday by the Acting Media Information Officer, Headquarters of the Joint Task Force, Lieutenant Ahmad Zubairu, said the troops encountered the armed suspects while they were attempting to abduct motorists and other road users.
