Security operatives have successfully rescued a woman and her four-month-old baby who were abducted during a bandit attack in Egbe, Yaba West Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The victims were kidnapped on Wednesday evening when suspected bandits invaded the Iqaluit Compound area of Elbe, specifically along the Solid Rock School axis, throwing residents into panic.
Their rescue was achieved through a coordinated operation involving local vigilantes and troops of the Nigerian Army, who launched a swift search mission following the incident.
The mother and child were reportedly taken away by the armed assailants during the attack, prompting security agencies to intensify efforts to track down the kidnappers.
The joint security operation eventually led to the safe recovery of both victims.
The development comes amid growing concerns over recurring attacks by criminal elements in parts of Koi State, with residents calling for stronger security measures to curb the menace.
