76 Kidnap Victims Rescued By Nigerian Air Force

Some 76 kidnap victims have been rescued by the Nigerian Air Force.

The victims including women and children were rescued after a precision air strike on a terrorist stronghold in northwest Katsina State.

Nigerian authorities announced the rescue operation Saturday, August 23, 2025.

According to the authorities,
the operation, targeting Pauwa Hill in Kankara Local Government Area, was part of a manhunt for a gang leader named Babaro who has been linked to a mosque attack last week in the town of Malumfashi in northwest Nigeria.
One child died during the rescue, the state’s Internal Security Ministry said, but it was not clear if there were any other casualties among the kidnap victims or the gang members.
The Air Force did not immediately respond to phone calls and messages seeking comment.
The air strike could mark a breakthrough in efforts to dismantle criminal networks in northwest Nigeria, where armed gangs have terrorised rural communities for years.
