In its continued effort to rid the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and environs of all forms of criminality, the operatives of the Police Command, arrested three notorious bandits/kidnappers in a stingy of operation.
The major breakthrough was achieved based on an actionable and strategic directive of the Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Ajao S. Adewale.
According to the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Joshine Adeh, the arrest was carried out on June 29, 2025, on the heels of an actionable intelligence and a well-coordinated operation led by ACP Victor O. Godfrey, spanning Wukushi, Mpape in the FCT and Rigina, Kaduna State.
The operation led to the
arrest of Abdulkadir Abubakar of Mpape, FCT, Mohammed Tasiu Sani, 25 years, of Rigina, Kaduna State, and Suleiman Jibrin, 27 years, from Sabon-Gayan, Kaduna State.
The suspects were known to operate deadly camps within the forests of Kachia and Rigina in Kaduna State, where victims were held for extended periods and have been linked to several kidnapping incidents across Jere, Kajuru, and parts of the Federal Capital Territory.
An operational motorcycle, commonly referred to as a “Boko Haram motorcycle,” was recovered during the operation and efforts are ongoing to recover more weapons and arrest of other fleeing accomplices.
Suspects are currently in custody and are assisting the Police with further investigations to dismantle their criminal network. Their arrest marks a significant stride in the Command’s effort to restore peace and security across the territory.
While the CP Adewale appreciates the resilience and bravery of the Police operatives, he urges residents to support the Police with credible information in the fight against criminality.
