DSS rescues four remaining kidnapped polytechnic students in Zamfara

Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, in Zamfara State, have rescued all four remaining kidnapped students of the Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda.

This was disclosed in a statement posted on X by security expert, Zagazola Makama.

Makama said DSS operatives, relying on intelligence, rescued the students, comprising four males and a female late Wednesday without any ransom paid.

According to him, one of the kidnappers was arrested during the operation while others did not survive.

The students were said to have been kidnapped on June 3 at their off-campus hostel in the Low-cost area of Kaura Namoda town after armed bandits stormed the building and seized six of them.

“Following an earlier release of two of the six students, security forces intensified an intelligence-led operation, and surgically secured the safe return of the remaining students to the relief of all,” Makama said.
