The Defence Headquarters has disclosed that the Nigerian troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE have got rid of a notorious kidnap kingpin, Zwa Ikyegh, at Tomayin village in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.

The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Major Gen. John Enenche, in a statement on Friday, also said that the troops rescued 32 kidnapped victims some of whom have been in captivity for over a month.
