Nigerian Troops Free 12 Teenage Girls from ISWAP Captivity in Borno

 

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have rescued 12 girls abducted by ISWAP terrorists in Mussa District of Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.

The victims were kidnapped last Sunday and are aged between 15 and 20 years.

The terrorists took the girls while harvesting crops on their family farmlands.

The rescued girls include: Fatima Shaibu,(17) Fatima Umaru (15), Hauwa Abubakar (18), Saliha Muhammed (15), Sadiya Umaru (17), Amira Babel (15), Zara Adamu (17), Nana Shaibu (15), Zainab Musa (18), Zainab Muhammed (17), Jamila Saidu (15) and Hauwa Hamidu (17).

They have now been moved to a secure military location for medical evaluation and profiling, after which they will be reunited with their families.

The rescue comes amid renewed military offensives in the southern Borno axis, where troops have intensified clearance operations against ISWAP remnants responsible for recurrent attacks and abductions.
