Kingsley Femi Fanwo, the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, is cited by multiple outlets as making the announcement in a statement on Thursday. Reporting across the sources describes the victims as abducted during the NECO exams and states that additional information about the circumstances of the attack or the operation is not detailed beyond the successful rescue. The outlets agree on the location—Olowa in Dekina LGA—and on the number rescued—four persons. No source provides further confirmed details about arrests, the identities of the victims, or the whereabouts of the attackers at the time of publication, but all attribute the outcome to the coordinated security effort by the state.
