The Hunters’ Group of Nigeria (HGN) and the Kogi State Vigilante Service (KVS) have disclosed that three children have been rescued from kidnappers.

WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that the victims who were rescued after the security groups raided the kidnappers’ den beside Erotyi mountain in Kogi/Koto LGA of the state.

Speaking on the incident, the spokesperson of the hunters’ group, Abdullahi Yahaya said three kidnappers were arrested during the operation.

According to Yahaya, the rescued persons were abducted 13 days ago by the kidnap syndicate.
