Major Josiah, an army officer abducted in Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State, has been rescued by villagers from the deep forest of Tuomo community.
The Major was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday night by armed men, who stormed his lodge,and took to the creeks of Burutu Local Government Area.
According to some sources, palm-wine tappers and lumberers discovered him tied inside a canoe with gunshot wounds on his leg and hand, in the forest where the kidnappers abandoned their vehicle.
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 an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
