Luckily enough, a well-coordinated search and rescue operation was carried out with the full support and partnership of the two LGA’s Sole Administrators of Anka and Bukkuyum.
The outcome of the rescue operation was the unconditional rescue of 27 kidnapped victims.
At the moment, 17 out of 27 were brought to the Police Command Headquarters for showcasing, while the 10 other victims are in the hospital receiving medical attention following the trauma they passed through while in captivity.
All the victims have been debriefed by the Police detectives and the Commissioner of Police CP Kolo Yusuf will formally hand over the victims to the Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs who will on behalf of His Excellency reunite them with their families.
The Commissioner of Police Commended the high-level commitment to Security of His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Bello Matawalle, for his support and encouragement to the Police and other security Agencies in their effort to rid the state of criminal activities.
A spokesperson for the command, SP Mohammed Shehu, said the CP further congratulated the victims for regaining their freedom, adding that the police will not leave any stone unturned in ensuring that criminal elements are apprehended and made to face the full wrath of the law.
