Security operatives have rescued Mrs Victoria Dandaura, the abducted wife of the head of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad (CG’SSIS) Mr Appollos Dandaura.

Mr. Odumosu said: “She was rescued unhurt after a successful joint operation by a combined tactical team comprising of men of NSCDC CG’SSIS, NSCDC Counter Terrorism Operatives (CTU) and NSCDC Special Female Squad (SFS).”
He added that the rescue operation was in collaboration with the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
