Operatives of the Kaduna Police Command rescued three kidnap victims in the Kuriga Wussa area of Zaria Local Government Area (LGA) in the state.
ASP Mansir Hassan, the Deputy Public Relations Officer of the command, confirmed this development through a statement issued in Kaduna.
Mansir said Police operatives carried out the operation on Saturday.
According to him, the success was achieved through aggressive patrol along Galadimawa of Giwa LGA while working on credible information.
“The Divisional Police Officer in Kidandan and local vigilante groups moved into the forest, which forced the kidnappers to abandon the victims and escape into the bush.”
He explained that the kidnapping was suspected to have been masterminded by the loyalists of the notorious bandit, the late Isah Danwasa, a native of Zaria.
He added that the rescued victims were all from Kurega Wusasa and had been reunited with their families.
Mansir said the Commissioner of Police, Kaduna State, Mr. Musa Garba, appealed to the general public to always be alert to their responsibilities of giving credible information to the police because security was everyone’s concern.
He also said the command was proactive and worked tirelessly at all times to protect the lives and property of the residents of Kaduna State.
