The Joint Task Force,  JTF, in the Niger Delta, Thursday, said it had foiled a kidnap incident in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

The JTF Media Coordinator, Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, disclosed this while briefing newsmen in Yenagoa, where he presented the alleged victim, Patience Agbani, to newsmen.

Nwachukwu, who said the JTF troop rescued the woman, attributed the feat to the timely information received from the victim.

He urged members of the public in distress to contact the headquarters of the JTF on 0803220 2684 for prompt intervention.

Narrating her ordeal, Agbani said that members of the kidnap gang, numbering six, trailed her on Wednesday night.

She said the suspected kidnappers continued to chase her until she ran into an uncompleted building from where she placed a distress call to the JTF.

According to her, the timely response of the JTF troops compelled the kidnappers, who were on her trail, to retreat.
