Some suspected security personnel allegedly taking N60million ransom for the freedom of some captives in the custody of armed bandits in Kaduna State, have been apprehended.
BIGPENNGR.COM understands from a report in PRNigeria that, Nigerian troops intercepted the ‘huge’ amount of ransom suspected to be couriered by some undisclosed security personnel.
The investigative online portal reports that the troops in the intelligence-driven military operations also rescued kidnapped victims including some women and children.
The operations, simultaneously undertaken by ground troops of the Nigerian Army, as well as special forces of the Nigerian Air forces, NAF, resulted in the elimination of some bandit terrorists.

The operative said: “The sum of N60,000,000 in cash, petroleum products and sophisticated weapons, were recovered during the operations.
“Other items recovered by the troops from the suspects include vehicles, AK-47 rifles, magazines, various kinds of ammunition and mobile phones.
