Troops of the 35 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Alamala, Abeokuta, working in collaboration with personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, have foiled an attempted abduction of Chinese expatriates at Magbon Village in the Mowe axis of Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The operation, which took place on Sunday, followed a distress call from a dredging site where the expatriates were carrying out operations.
According to the army, the joint security team came under attack from armed men suspected to be kidnappers while responding to the emergency call.
