Six security personnel kidnapped by Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Borno State have been released.
The operatives were abducted in the early hours of Saturday in Borno State’s North Eastern Gubio local government area.
However, counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama claims the victims escaped after a military super Tucano fighter jet launched a fierce pursuit of the terrorists.
According to Zagazola, the operation was carried out by gallant troops of the 5 Brigade Operation Hadin Kai, Gubio, backed by the Air Task Force (ATF) Super Tukano, who pursued the fleeing terrorists who ran towards the axis of Gadai village, Nganzai Local Government, Borno State.
