Can't find in NOTABLES, or resear.ch I found it weirdly looking up something on podestamolesta.
27-year-old Philip Walton, who kept camels, sheep and poultry and grew mango trees near the border with Nigeria, was kidnapped off his property by six gunmen on motorcycles at around 0145 local time October 27th, 2020.
The demanded a ransom of a paltry one million dollars from the American government. This morning, 'Commandos from the Navy’s elite SEAL Team 6 rescued the American, Philip Walton, 27, after tracking the phones of his attackers to a hide-out in neighboring northern Nigeria, U.S. officials said.'
They were parachuted in about three miles from the location. There was a "brief but intense firefight" where all but one of the captors (terrorists) were killed. The one who lived ran away, presumably when the shooting started.
It's a great story, links below.
