This was revealed in a press release signed by the Nigerian Air Force’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Edward Gabkwet, on Saturday.Terrorists are believed to have kidnapped the rescued Chinese victims in June 2022 while they were working on a mining site in Ajata-Aboki, Gurmana Ward of Shiroro Local Government, Niger State.

The Combat Search and Rescue operation, which included 35 Special Forces, was conducted at night in the Kanfani Doka and Gwaska general areas, resulting in terrorists abandoning their enclaves, weapons, and kidnapped Chinese victims fleeing for their lives due to the special forces’ superior firepower.
