The DHQ said that the operation was carried out by the Nigerian Armed Forces, in conjunction with the security agencies, which led to the rescue of the victims.
The DHQ Spokesman, Major General Musa Danmadami, made this known on Thursday during the biweekly media briefing on updates on military operations in the country.
He said: “Wanting to know details is not the issue for now. The important thing is that these people have been held captive for six months and the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), in collaboration with other security agencies, through the committee that was set up by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, secured their release.
