Kaduna State Police Command has successfully rescued three individuals who were held captive by suspected bandits for more than 40 days. Authorities also arrested five suspected informants linked to the kidnapping syndicate.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, announced the development in a statement on Saturday.
A joint security team, led by personnel from Fushin Kada and supported by the Divisional Police Officer in Hunkuyi, carried out the operation based on sustained intelligence gathering, strategic surveillance, and coordinated efforts.
“Upon sighting the advancing security personnel, the bandits fled the area, abandoning the victims who were subsequently rescued unharmed,” Hassan said.
The rescued victims are:
Ekechikwu Omale
Ummi Salisu (from Kudan Local Government Area of Kaduna State)
Pastor Daniel Tanko Bawa (from Tufa Village in Niger State)
The victims received medical examination and treatment at a police clinic before reuniting with their families.
