Police rescue kidnap victims, arrest robbery suspect in Kaduna

The Kaduna State Police Command has successfully rescued three individuals who were kidnapped in Kidandan village, Giwa Local Government Area.

According to ASP Mansur Hassan, the Command’s spokesperson, the rescue operation took place on November 13, thanks to intensified patrols in the general area, prompting the bandits to abandon their captives.

The victims had been kidnapped on October 3 while en route to Kano along the Kaduna – Abuja Expressway. The rescued individuals have since been reunited with their families.

“On Tuesday at about 1800hrs, a team patrolling the vulnerable area sighted a man in excruciating pain with a swollen face.

“When questioned, the man said that he was attacked with a hammer by a passenger who robbed his motorcycle,” he said.

The spokesman said the swift action by the operatives led to the arrest of the suspect at the Bagadaza Dogarawa area in Sabo Garin Zaria LGA.

He said the police recovered a motorbike and a hammer from the suspect, adding that an investigation into the case was ongoing.

While reiterating the command’s commitment to ride crimes and criminalities in the state, Hassan sought the support of residents.
