The operations were reported in Anka and Kaura Namoda local government areas, where the troops also recovered two vehicles and disrupted suspected terrorist activity.
The task force said the rescue followed operations aimed at blocking armed groups and cutting off movement routes in the state. The victims were freed during the operation, while the recovered vehicles were taken into custody for further checks.
