By Joseph Bienbo

As earlier reported today, the army officer abducted in the Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State, Major Josiah, has been rescued by villagers from the deep forest of the Tuomo community.

The officer was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday night by armed men, who stormed his lodge, ransacked it, and whisked him away to the creeks of Burutu Local Government Area.

Community sources confirmed that he was found in the forest where the kidnappers abandoned their vehicle. According to accounts, palm-wine tappers and lumberers found him tied inside a canoe with gunshot wounds on his leg and hand.

He was first taken to a nearby camp for safety before being conveyed by canoe to the community. The community subsequently alerted the military Joint Task Force (JTF), which moved him to safety.

Source confirmed that Major Josiah has been taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
