“On 03/04/2025 at about 1030hrs , an information was received through a phone call from one Alhaji Saidu , a staff of SCC company based in Takum that, on same date at about 0915hrs, one Mr Gil Itamar, an Israeli and also a staff of SCC company was kidnapped by some armed hoodlums at Atim Community along Takum/Chanchangi road while being escorted by the Military,” the statement read.

“An intense cordon, search-and-rescue operation was conducted which led to the successful rescue of the victim at Kofai Ahmadu, after a fierce gun duel. The hoodlums were forced to bid a retreat and flee the scene.

“The victim is presently undergoing medical checks at SCC company’s medical facility Takum.
