Her rescue followed an operation by the police on Monday. According to the Police Spokesman, ASP Abubakar Aliyu, in a statement issued on Tuesday, the victim whose identity was withheld for security reasons was rescued in Bilbis Village of neighboring Zamfara State.

He restated the commitment of the command to employ available resources to ensure the rescue of the remaining four kidnapped victims.
