Nigerian Army troops have rescued a soldier who was abducted at the Nigerian Army Training Centre in Miango, Plateau State, after a coordinated operation in the area.
Troops of Sector 3, Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP), have rescued a soldier who was reportedly abducted at the Nigerian Army Training Centre, Miango Range, in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State. According to the report by DailyPost, the soldier was taken on September 27, 2026, prompting security forces to begin efforts to locate and rescue him.
The rescued soldier was identified as Corporal Amos Bala. The circumstances surrounding his abduction and the identities of those allegedly responsible were still being investigated at the time of the report. The military operation was conducted as part of ongoing security efforts under Operation Enduring Peace in Plateau State.
The rescue comes amid continued military operations in Plateau and other parts of the country aimed at responding to kidnapping and other security threats. Troops operating under Operation Enduring Peace have previously conducted operations in different parts of Plateau, including efforts to rescue abducted persons and disrupt suspected criminal groups.
Following his rescue, the soldier was expected to undergo the necessary medical evaluation and administrative procedures. Such post-rescue procedures are routinely used to assess the condition of recovered personnel and obtain information that could assist ongoing investigations and security operations.
The rescue also highlights the continuing security challenges facing Plateau State, where military and other security agencies have maintained operations against kidnapping and other violent crimes. Authorities are expected to continue investigating the circumstances of Corporal Bala’s abduction and pursuing any individuals linked to the incident.
