The rescue operation was conducted on August 11, 2026, following the abduction of the victim from her residence in the community. A military source told Zagazola Makama that troops launched a search operation at about 7:00 a.m. and tracked the kidnappers to the Rafin Bauna general area in Bassa Local Government Area of the state.
