The ID card of the fourth abductee was not sighted from the list of the cards provided by the insurgents.
Though the pictures of the victims have been released, no contact has been made with their families yet.
The soldiers were kidnapped while traveling to Kano, in a civilian vehicle around 5:07 pm on Saturday, according to a wireless message sent by 29 Task Force Brigades and published by PeoplesGazette.
It was learned that the passengers in the vehicle that observed the driver’s suspicious behavior and his familiarity with the terrorists alerted the army base in Mainok.
However, the troops from the 134 Special Forces battalion led by the commanding officer were mobilized to the scene, but the terrorists had fled the area.
However, the army has been unable to know the whereabouts of the soldiers.
