[i]ONSA-COORDINATED OPERATION DELIVERS NIGERIA’S LARGEST SAME-DAY HOSTAGE RESCUE AS 308 FREED FROM CAPTIVITY IN KWARA, NIGER STATES[/ii

In one of the largest coordinated hostage rescue operations in recent months, a joint security mission coordinated by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) has rescued 308 kidnapped victims from captivity in Kwara and Niger states, marking another significant breakthrough in Nigeria’s fight against organized kidnapping.

Security sources told TheRadarNewsNG that the operation, carried out on Wednesday, involved personnel of the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Department of State Services (DSS), the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) under ONSA, the Nigeria Police Force, and other security agencies.

According to the sources, the intelligence-driven operation led to the safe rescue of all 308 abducted persons, making it one of the country’s most successful mass hostage recovery missions in recent times.

A breakdown of the rescued victims showed that 163 persons were freed after being abducted from Woro Community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, while another 145 victims were rescued during coordinated security operations in Niger State.

Security officials said the near-simultaneous operations were the result of extensive intelligence gathering, meticulous inter-agency planning, and synchronized execution designed to prevent the kidnappers from relocating their captives or escaping security pressure.

While operational details remain restricted for security reasons, sources said the mission followed sustained intelligence-led surveillance and close collaboration among the participating security agencies under a unified command structure coordinated by ONSA.

The operation underscores Nigeria’s increasing reliance on intelligence fusion and joint operational planning to tackle kidnapping syndicates that exploit forest corridors and state boundaries across the North-Central region.

The rescued victims have since been evacuated to the Military Medical Facility at Wawa Cantonment in New Bussa Local Government Area of Niger State, where they are undergoing medical examinations, treatment, and receiving immediate humanitarian assistance.

Medical personnel are conducting comprehensive health assessments on the victims, many of whom endured prolonged periods in captivity under harsh conditions. Security officials also confirmed that documentation, debriefing, and arrangements for their safe reunification with their families are underway following the completion of medical and security procedures.

The successful rescue further demonstrates the growing synergy among Nigeria’s military, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in combating kidnapping, terrorism, and other forms of organized violent crime.

Security sources described the mission as the outcome of sustained coordination rather than a single tactical operation, emphasizing that intelligence collection, operational planning, and synchronized deployment were instrumental in securing the victims’ release without any reported loss of life among those rescued.

Officials added that intelligence obtained during the operation is expected to support follow-up missions aimed at identifying, tracking, and dismantling the criminal networks responsible for the mass abductions, while strengthening ongoing efforts to improve national security through enhanced inter-agency cooperation.

This is commendable
Don't come and wail under this please

Kudos to them, but the government must do more. It shouldn't seem like anyone can do whatever they like in this country.

where were they kept and feeding them

I always believed Ribadu was Nigeria's hope especially after the great Gani Fawehinmi died. But it looks like he has given up on fighting corruption and delivering Nigeria and come to understand the only option is to join them and do whatever little good he can from inside.
Sowore too may soon give up and give in.

How much was paid , who arranged those buses for pickups .

All in APC government.

Terrorism was almost zero until APC, the affliction that befell Nigeria happened.

Thousands of Nigerians have been at one time or the other kidnapped, dehumanized by the brothers of APC miscreants.

APC, the party that has rehabilitated terrorists and told us to co-exist with terrorists must be rooted out by 2027 for Peter Obi.

Now l understand all this game.kindnap and restcue them during election time and win election.NIGERIA.

This thing go pain obi like hell. Ehn you see this God get hin way wey hin dey take shame some people I swear God really shame some people oo dem think dey can use banditry and kidnapping to campaign and God shamed them back to back.

Grigory how market?

rescue or release ??
Thank God they are back.
But make Una dey tell us the Truth ..




If the government keep paying ransom
The terrorist will be buying more arms and keep kidnapping.
So say no to ransom payment

Any rescue without arresting or killing of the terrorists is just arrangee or ransom were paid

No there are still a lot of sane, patriotic God fearing Nigerians who are not corrupt.

Nigerians who don't need to steal ( corruption is stealing) to fend for themselves or live a good life.

ONSA? is it a division of the NA or police formation? I am just asking bc i dont know o?

A pathetic way of celebrating 1 event among daily occurrence of the same event without resistance of any sort.

A pathetic way at remission for a national security advisor that has been fingered in terrorism by actions and inactions, including the words of his mouth "Terrorists are his brothers...".

Under his watch, security has worsen more than ever since the history of the Earth, let alone, the independence of Nigeria.

You guys truly don't need a positive change for this country.

You guys don't care about the country at all, except for what you can benefit from the spoilage.

By the way.

What happened to the kidnapers.

I didn't pay attention to that aspect, or it's non existent?

Congratulations to the presidency.

Congratulations to the victims and their families.

Keep kwayet !

Who is fooling who ?

Let's wait as original stories unravel.

Kudos Ribadu!
Kudos ONSA!!
Kudos PBAT!!!

Once terrorism can not be exported across the states borders, the problem becomes localized and it shall whittle down in to oblivion. Again emphasizing need for state policing.

Kudus to you for calling your hunters to release the bush meat to appease the animals in animal farm..

Is this a win or what?


9ja for show

Wow this is a good development
