Troops from Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) have successfully rescued three female teenagers who were kidnapped in Makundang village, located in the Mangor District of Bokkos Local Government Area, Plateau State. The operation took place following a report of the kidnapping received around 8:50 p.m. on November 5, 2026.
Upon their arrival, the troops initiated search-and-rescue operations and made contact with the kidnappers. Under intense pressure from the security forces, the abductors abandoned their captives and fled into nearby wooded areas.
The rescued individuals have been identified as Miss Fatigi Aguna, 19, Lovina Bawa, 18, and Barsheba Appolos, 18. Fortunately, all three were unharmed and have since been reunited with their families.
Security officials have stated that efforts are underway to track down and apprehend the escaped kidnappers.
