The Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services (DSS) have rescued a female officer, Lieutenant P. P. Johnson, who was abducted by unknown gunmen.

Johnson, who passed out on December 17 after completing the Direct Short Service Course, was kidnapped when she travelled to her hometown for Christmas Day celebration.

The gang stripped the female officer, from Abia State, and made a video of her on Monday, 26th of December, Boxing Day.

The voice behind the recording said the location was along Enugu highway which links Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.

It was gathered that the Army leadership swung into action after Johnson was reported missing, Daily Post reports.

The Army officer had been moved to a forest bordering Enugu State and Ihube Okigwe Local Government Area in Imo State.

It is suspected that the recording, which circulated on the internet, might have assisted security agencies in tracking the abductors and led to rescuing the female officer on Thursday.
