The operation freed a 27-year-old farmer, who was living with his family in the neighboring country of Niger. He was taken from his farm by kidnappers demanding a ransom from his father. The United States worked with the governments of both Nigeria and Niger to achieve the rescue quickly and without military casualties. “We appreciate the support of our international partners in conducting this operation,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.
