The seven rescued victims underwent medical examinations by the DSS before being handed over to the state government, DSS stated.
Receiving the kidnapped victims on behalf of the state government, Secretary to the State Government, Muhammad Bello Sifawa, commended the DSS for the feat which he described as a welcome development.
He reassured the security agencies in the state of the administration’s continued support to fully secure the state.
