15 People have regained their freedom after their captors were engaged by a joint security team in Abuja.
Kidnappers had invaded an emerging estate in Dawaki Abuja on Sunday night kidnapping at least 17 people.
A joint security force comprising the Police, DSS and Soldiers from the Nigerian Army Guards Brigade gave the kidnappers a hot pursuit into the Ushafa and Shishipe Hills as they made away with their captives.
The ensuing gunfight forced the kidnappers to flee leaving behind their captives.
