Troops of Operation Enduring Peace, OPEP, have rescued a woman, identified as Mrs Habiba Haruna, after foiling an attempted kidnapping in Kalambaya, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The woman reportedly sustained a minor injury to one of her fingers during the incident, which occurred at about 10 p.m. on Thursday, November 12.
The development was contained in a post shared on X by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Friday.
According to the report, troops stationed at Jengre under Sector 1 of Operation Enduring Peace responded to a distress call about the attempted abduction.

“The rescued woman was immediately taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment,” he wrote.
The report added that security operatives had begun efforts to track down and arrest the fleeing kidnappers.
Meanwhile, troops have continued routine patrols across their Joint Operations Area to protect schools, churches and other critical national infrastructure.
