Police in Nigeria’s Zamfara State confirm they have rescued three Islamic clerics who were kidnapped on September 12 while travelling to Talata Mafara.

The clerics were reportedly among a group of six kidnapped during the journey. Police say the recovered victims have been found, while details on the remaining clerics are not covered in the provided reports.

Both outlets attribute the confirmation to police and describe the incident using the same core timeline and location, with one focusing more directly on the number rescued and the other highlighting the commissioner of police as the source. Beyond the rescue confirmation, neither summary adds further information on suspects, investigation progress, or broader security responses.
