Security Forces Rescue Jamila Muhammad and Seven Others

Jamila Muhammad, a 27-year-old pregnant woman, and seven other residents were rescued from kidnappers in Kaduna State after being held for weeks. The rescue operation occurred between October 31 and November 2 and involved the Office of the National Security Adviser, the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police Force, and the military, in collaboration with the Kaduna State Government.

Jamila was abducted on October 6 during an attack on Alrahus Estate in Millennium City, alongside Ahmad Zakka and his family. While Zakka and his family were freed on October 15, Jamila remained captive until the recent operation, during which she reportedly lost her pregnancy.

The other rescued individuals included Talatu Yakubu, Yunana Bawa, Calista Bishop, Chidinma Onuwere, Eucharia Obi, Godiya Victor, and Miracle Alex, an eight-year-old girl. Commissioner of Police Muhammad Rabiu announced the rescue and emphasized ongoing efforts to combat kidnapping and banditry in the region, including the deployment of additional security personnel and equipment.
