One suspected kidnapper, identified as Dogo Manu, was apprehended during the operation. The army spokesperson noted that the terrorists were met with superior firepower, ensuring the success of the operation.

In a separate operation, Operation Safe Haven, a security task force responsible for maintaining peace in Plateau State, rescued two kidnap victims during a patrol named "HAKORIN DAMISA IV" along Maraban Jama'a road in Jos LGA. Major Nantip Zakhom, spokesperson for Operation SAFE HAVEN, confirmed the rescue on Tuesday.

Troops deployed to Bisichi responded swiftly to a distress call regarding kidnapping activities and encountered a brown Peugeot vehicle. A thorough search operation in the surrounding bushes led to the successful rescue of Mr. Abdul Bello, the vehicle's owner, and Miss Sekyen Melody Yapshak, who was kidnapped from her parents' residence near the Nigeria Police College.

These operations demonstrate the Nigerian Army's commitment to ensuring the safety and security of citizens in Taraba and Plateau States. The successful rescue of kidnapped victims and the dislodging of kidnappers' camps are significant achievements in the fight against terrorism and kidnapping in Nigeria.
