Operatives of Katsina State Police Command have rescued no fewer than 10 kidnapped victims.
This was contained in a statement by the command’s spokesman, ASP Abubakar Sadiq, on Wednesday in Katsina.
Sadiq said that four of the rescued victims sustained gunshot wounds as a result of the bandits’ attack and were immediately rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
He added that two of the victims died while receiving treatment, stressing that efforts were ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects as investigation proceeds.
The police image maker recalled that on December 24th, 2024, at about 2030 hrs, some suspected bandits, armed with dangerous weapons and shooting sporadically, attacked a commercial vehicle at Kwanar Makera along the Katsina to Magama Jibia road in Jibia LGA, Katsina State, in an attempt to kidnap 10 occupants of the said vehicle.
According to him, upon receiving the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Jibia swiftly led a team of operatives to the scene, engaging the bandits in a gun duel, successfully foiled the kidnap attempt and rescued all the 10 victims.
The Commissioner of Police, Katsina State Command, CP Aliyu Abubakar Musa, while commending the officers, charged them to sustain the tempo.
He further urged members of the public with useful information on suspected criminal activities to report to the nearest police station for prompt and decisive action.
