The general’s widow, Amina, was shot by captors during the operation but is now receiving urgent medical care. The military intensified its search after his death, believed caused by health complications in captivity, and pressured the kidnappers into surrendering. The daughter confirmed the rescue, praising the military and praying for her mother’s recovery. Authorities vow to hunt down the perpetrators, while President Bola Tinubu called the incident a sobering warning about the growing threat of armed banditry in the northwest.
