Troops of the Nigerian Army have rescued a kidnapped senior military officer, Lt. Col. Ofor Amobi, and a civilian, Mr Ikechukwu Onwuanra, after a 10-day joint search-and-rescue operation in Enugu State.
The victims were rescued in the early hours of Friday following sustained pressure on their abductors. Troops of Sector 1 of Operation UDO KA, comprising personnel of the 82 Division Garrison, 103 Battalion, the Nigerian Navy Special Boat Service and the 197 Special Forces Battalion, carried out the operation.
Both victims had sustained gunshot wounds and were evacuated to the 82 Division Medical Hospital for treatment.
Key Points:
The rescue demonstrates the military’s capability to conduct successful joint operations against kidnappers.
Sustained military pressure forced the abductors to abandon their captives without a ransom payment.
The operation involved collaboration between the Army, Navy, and Special Forces.
The victims were rescued with gunshot wounds and are receiving medical treatment.
The rescue came after 10 days of intensive searches across forests in Oji River LGA.
The successful operation highlights improved military coordination, but the abductors remain at large and further details are expected.
