The Deputy Director Army Public Relations, 1Division Nigerian Army Kaduna, Ezindu Idimah, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Kaduna that one of the kidnappers was killed in the operation.

“Acting on a credible information, troops raided the hideout of the bandits where they held the farmers and engaged them in a firefight.

“Following, the firefight, one bandit was neutralized and others escaped with gunshot wounds leaving behind the victims.

“The rescued farmers had since been handed over to their families,” he said.
