The Army also said that the troops conducted a series of operations that resulted in the rescue of abducted persons, neutralization of a notorious terrorist, interception of illegally refined Automated Gas Oil (AGO), and seizure of arms.
This is contained in a statement by the Nigeria Army, saying that in Kogi State, troops responded swiftly to a distress call along the Obajana Oshokoshoko road, where some civilians were abducted and taken into the forest.
The statement also explained that the troops moved in swiftly to locate the victims, where they had a fierce shoot-out with the kidnappers and successfully extricated the hostages.
The Army added that troops in Imo State acting on credible intelligence intercepted a vehicle transporting 21 sacks of illegally refined diesel (AGO), stressing that it also arrested armed individuals who were hired to escort the illegal product.
