The State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, made the disclosure in a statement on Monday.
He also disclosed that four motorcycles were recovered from the fleeing terrorists.
“According to operational feedback to the Kaduna State Government, the troops engaged bandits on the Tantatu high ground, as the bandits abandoned their camp fled further into the forest,” the statement reads in part.
Aruwan identified the rescued victims as Salama Oliver, Husseini Odu, Danjuma Jakanwa, Ezekiel Garba, Obadiah Moses, Taiwo Isaac, Buky Isaac, Ado Adamu, and Maigari Shekarau.
“Initial debriefing of the rescued victims revealed that they had all been kidnapped around the Gurara Dam area,” the commissioner said.
“The troops also recovered 90 cattle left behind by the fleeing bandits. The animals will be handed over to the Kaduna State Livestock Regulatory Authority for proper identification.
“Further clearance patrols to Bawa Rikasa hill led to the recovery of four motorcycles belonging to the bandits.”
