In a decisive operation, troops from the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army and Sub Sector 3 OPERATION WHIRL STROKE (OPWS) apprehended six suspected kidnappers in separate raids across Taraba State.
Acting on intelligence, soldiers from the 93 Battalion Sub-Sector 3B OPWS, based at Forward Operating Base Wukari, executed a strategic raid in Chinkai Village, Wukari Local Government Area.
This operation resulted in the arrest of Usman Gide Ali, 25, and Abdulrahaman Amadu, 28, both wanted for multiple kidnappings in the area.
During their arrest, the suspects attempted to bribe the troops with 2 million Naira for their release, which was firmly rejected by the soldiers, underscoring their commitment to integrity.
In a concurrent operation in Ibi Local Government Area, troops stationed at Sarikin Kudu, acting on credible intelligence, captured four more suspects: Jafaru Banyi, 28; Mohammad Ardo, 25; Amadu Lawal Shatta, 20; and Biyu Ardu, 25.
These individuals are implicated in several high-profile kidnappings targeting both locals and foreigners and have been under surveillance by security agencies.
Brigadier General Kingsley Chidebere Uwa, Commander of the 6 Brigade/Sector 3 OPWS, commended the troops for their bravery and adherence to ethical standards.
He highlighted that the successful operations and the troops’ refusal to accept bribes demonstrated their professionalism and unwavering dedication to justice.
