Weeks after some kidnappers held
sway in some parts of the State- kidnapping, maiming and exploiting their
victims without success yet about the hoodlums being nabbed, another record of
successful kidnapping has been averted as the gallant troops of 2 Brigade

rescued one chief Malaki of Idu, Uruan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom
State.
In a release signed by the
Assistant Director, Public Relations, 2 Brigade Nigerian Army, Captain Umar
Shuaib and made available to this reporter, it was noted that the Chief was
