Zamfara Polytechnic Students Freed from Captivity by DSS Operatives

In a daring operation, the Department of State Services (DSS) in Zamfara State has successfully rescued the four remaining students of the Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda, who were kidnapped by armed bandits. The students, comprising four males and initially a female among the six taken, were abducted on June 3 from their off-campus hostel in the Low-cost area of Kaura Namoda town. Following the earlier release of two of the students, the DSS intensified its intelligence-led efforts, culminating in the rescue of the remaining students late on Wednesday without the payment of any ransom. During the operation, one of the kidnappers was apprehended, while the others did not survive. The successful rescue operation brings relief to the students' families and the academic community, highlighting the effectiveness of security forces in combating kidnapping and banditry in the region.
