12 Brigade Nigerian Army, says the troops on Wednesday 10th September, 2025 on a Patrol Base at Apata received a credible intelligence of a kidnap incident at Opamaru Village along Obajana–Lokoja Road. The victims who were travelling in a 17-seater bus from Osun State and headed for Abuja, were kidnapped by the criminals. Without delay, the patrol base reinforced by the Brigade Quick Response Group (QRG), immediately mobilized to the scene.


On arrival, the troops discovered a 17-seater bus abandoned by the roadside, completely empty. Employing field craft, the soldiers swiftly trailed the kidnappers to Wuro Village in Adavi Local Government Area, where the troops came in contact with the criminals.


Overpowered by the troops’ superior firepower, the criminals abandoned all 17 kidnapped passengers and fled into the bush with various degrees of gunshot injuries. The rescued victims were immediately evacuated to the 12 Brigade Medical Centre for first aid and stabilization.


It adds, the Nigerian Army has reassured the general public of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property, while urging citizens to continue to support the military with timely information to aid ongoing operations.
