Consequent upon the information, the police operatives from Gwagwalada Division on Saturday, 8th February, 2020 at about 1400hrs launched a major onslaught forcing the heavily armed kidnappers, who engaged the police rescue team in a fierce exchange of gunfire, to abandon their victims at the mountainous terrain, used as their hideout, before escaping through the hills.

While two of the rescued victims, Alhaji Umaru Salihu ‘m’, and Mariam Umaru ‘f’ were kidnapped from their home in Pagada village on 8th February, 2020 at about 0100hrs, the two other victims (Zilkifilu Usman ‘m’ and Usman Shuaibu ‘m) informed the police that they were kidnapped from Niger state on 2nd February, 2020, while on transit.

The Command wishes to appreciate vigilantes in the axis, who in the spirit of community policing, supported the police during the operation.
