The Zamfara State Police have successfully rescued Hassan Abdullahi, a 52-year-old security guard who was abducted on December 29 in Gusau. The police spokesperson, Yazid Abubakar, reported that Abdullahi was kidnapped around 1:30 am on Friday when armed gunmen raided a house in Sabon Garin Damba where he was stationed.

Upon receiving the information, the Divisional Police Officer of Damba Division organized a team of detectives for a search and rescue operation.

He commended the police operatives for their swift intervention, leading to the immediate rescue of the abducted victim. The commissioner pledged the commitment of the command to continue the fight against bandits and criminal elements in the state until normalcy is restored.
