In a rare diplomatic commendation, the People’s Republic of China has praised the Nigerian government for the swift and successful rescue of four of its citizens abducted in Kwara State.

The joint operation, led by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Nigerian military, is being celebrated as a model of inter-agency collaboration and effective intelligence response.

The commendation was made at the DSS Medical Facility in Abuja, during the formal handover of the rescued Chinese nationals to officials of the Chinese Embassy, where they were receiving medical attention and post-rescue evaluation following their safe recovery.
