LEADERSHIP reports that armed bandits attacked FGC Yauri on Thursday afternoon and kidnapped a number of students and teachers of the unity school. Nwachukwu said the rescue followed an initial encounter with the abductors in the early hours of Friday, June 18 2021 after trailing the kidnappers from Yauri through Riyao to Sombo community, where the kidnappers who had split into two groups fled, with one group conveying the abducted children while the second group conveyed rustled cattle.
“The Land troops in conjunction with elements of the Nigerian Air Force, who provided close air support during the rescue mission intercepted the two groups at about 2.30 am and engaged them in a fire fight leading to the successful rescue of the teachers and students.“The gallant troops are still on the heels of the kidnappers in order to rescue the remaining abductees still in captivity.
