Troops of the Nigerian Army intercepted and prevented a kidnapping incident along the busy Nasarawa-Kefi Road on Thursday.

The suspected kidnappers had attacked the victim and abducted him.

However, following distress calls from residents of the area, the troops embarked on a rescue operation along the route.

A statement by the Nigerian Army on Friday on its X handle said the troops promptly arrived and thwarted the victim’s abduction.
