Nigerian forces liberate 76 individuals from captivity at a suspected criminal hideout.

On Saturday, Nigeria’s military successfully rescued at least 76 kidnapping victims, including women and children, in the northwestern Katsina state, according to local security authorities. Unfortunately, one child captive lost their life during the operation. This rescue came after a precise aerial strike aimed at a notorious bandit kingpin and his group in Katsina, as reported by the authorities.
