 CHINESE GOVT. COMMENDS NIGERIA FOR RESCUE OF FOUR KIDNAP CITIZENS 


The People’s Republic of China has commended the Nigerian government for the successful rescue of four of its citizens kidnapped in Kwara State.


The rescue operation, jointly carried out by the Office of the National Security Adviser, the Department of State Services, the Nigerian Army, and the Police, led to the safe recovery of the Chinese nationals 


At the formal handover of the victims in Abuja, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, represented by the Consul, Wang Jun, lauded the Nigerian security agencies, particularly the DSS, for their swift, intelligence-led response. He also commended the Service for providing first-rate medical attention to the rescued individuals at its medical facility in Abuja.


The kidnapped miners were reportedly ambushed by a gang of armed bandits on their way to a mining site in Saminaka village, Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State.


Meanwhile, the DSS continues its nationwide operations against criminal syndicates, recently recording significant breakthroughs, including the interception of arms and ammunition in Delta State, a development widely praised as a testament to its commitment to national security and public safety.
