Nigerian Army rescues kidnapped Cross River commissioner
Troops of the 13 Brigade Nigerian Army, Calabar, have rescued the Commissioner for Women Affairs in Cross River, Mrs Gertrude Njar, who was kidnapped on Feb. 1 in the Mayne Avenue area of Calabar South. Mrs Njar’s rescue comes as good news to her family, friends and colleagues, who had been anxious about her safety since her abduction.

According to a statement by Capt. Dorcas Aluko, Army Public Relations Officer, 13 Brigade, Calabar, the troops acted on actionable intelligence on the victim’s whereabouts, laying a tacit ambush for the kidnappers around Peter Effiong Creek, Messembe, Jebs. The gallant troops tactically sprang a trap to take the kidnappers by surprise while searching for the victim. The criminals abandoned the victim in the ensuing melee and fled into the creeks. The troops were on the trail of the fleeing criminals, according to Aluko.

The successful rescue operation by the Nigerian Army is a testament to the commitment and dedication of the troops in the fight against insecurity in Nigeria. The Army has been at the forefront of the fight against insurgency, terrorism, banditry and other criminal activities in the country. The successful rescue of Mrs Njar is a further demonstration of the Army’s resolve to protect the lives and property of Nigerians.

The kidnapping of Mrs Njar, the Commissioner for Women Affairs in Cross River State, was a brazen act of criminality that threatened the peace and security of the state. The Commissioner’s abduction was a wake-up call for the authorities to do more to protect the state’s citizens and the country. The Army’s swift response and successful rescue of Mrs Njar clearly indicate that the government is taking the security of its citizens seriously.

The Commissioner’s rescue has been welcomed by the people of Cross River State, who have been calling for her release since her abduction. The news of her rescue has believed her family, friends and colleagues, who had been praying for her safe return. Mrs Njar is an accomplished woman who has dedicated her life to serving the people of Cross River State. Her abduction was a setback to her efforts to empower women and children in the state.

Mrs Njar’s abduction is one of many cases of kidnapping and other criminal activities that have plagued Nigeria recently. The rise in insecurity in the country has been a cause for concern among Nigerians, who have been calling for more action from the government to tackle the problem. The successful rescue of Mrs Njar is a step in the right direction and a sign that the government is progressing in the fight against insecurity.

The Nigerian Army has worked tirelessly to secure the country and protect its citizens. The Army has been involved in several successful operations recently, including rescuing students kidnapped from a school in Kankara, Katsina State, and saving passengers abducted from a bus in Ondo State. The Army’s efforts have been commendable and helped restore Nigerians’ confidence in the government’s ability to tackle insecurity.

The Nigerian Army’s success in rescuing Mrs Njar is a reminder that security is everyone’s business. The Army has called on members of the public to continue providing timely and accurate information on criminal activities within their vicinities. This call to action is crucial in the fight against insecurity in Nigeria. MPublic members must be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities to help prevent crime and protect the lives and property of Nigerians.
