Troops of the Nigerian Army have rescued the three abducted students of the Plateau State Polytechnic.
The three Plateau State Polytechnic students were abducted on Wednesday.
They were whisked into the woods by unknown bandits while sitting in front of their hostel known as ‘Plateau Embassy’ at Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state.
They were rescued unhurt by troops of Operation Safe Haven at an abandoned poultry farm.
In a statement on Thursday signed by the military information officer of Operation Safe Haven, Major Ishaku Takwa, said the troops deployed at Nding Sesut noticed an unusual movement of persons during patrols and immediately conducted cordon and search in the general area.
The search, the military spokesman said, led to the rescue of the abducted students at an abandoned poultry farm.
The rescued students have since been reunited with their families while a manhunt is ongoing to apprehend the gunmen behind the kidnapping, the military further said.
Rather than three females earlier reportedly kidnapped, the military identified the victims as two female and one male students.
