Troops of Sector 2, Operation Fansan Yamma, have rescued 41 travellers abducted by bandits after their commercial vehicle broke down along a highway in the Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
The victims comprised 24 males, 10 females and seven children.
A statement by the operation on Tuesday said the vehicle, which was travelling from Senegal to Kano State, developed a mechanical fault along the highway, leaving the passengers stranded.
