The Nigerian military has
rescued 43 abducted
persons and recovered 500
cows from fleeing Boko
Haram terrorists in Mafa.
The military operation for the
mission occurred Sunday
morning after eight
suspected Boko Haram
terrorists abducted some
cattle rearers and livestock
at gunpoint at Dalakalari
general area, Mafa Local
Government Area.
Some well meaning people
informed the military who
swung into action and
pursued the terrorists.
The terrorists, sensing
danger, ran and abandoned
the livestock just before
Panamri village and ran
away.
The troops were able to
rescue 43 persons and 500
cows taken by the terrorists.
The victims and the
recovered cows have been
handed over to the local
authorities.
