Hostages Saved in Benue After Police Gunfight
The Benue State Police Command has successfully rescued four kidnapping
victims following a gun battle with their abductors along the Orokam–Owukpa road in Ogbadibo Local Government Area.
The operation was launched on September 25 after a distress call reported the presence of the kidnapped individuals near River Enumabia. The Divisional Police Officer promptly deployed tactical teams, who engaged the kidnappers and secured the release of the victims.
