In a daring operation that highlights the unrelenting war on kidnappers along the infamous Kaduna-Abuja highway, the elite Operation “Fushin Kada” Tracking and Response Team successfully intercepted a group of suspected kidnappers terrorizing this critical route and its surroundings. Acting on strategic intelligence, police detained three men allegedly connected to numerous abductions that have instilled fear in both travelers and local residents. The suspects, aged 40, 40, and 65, were found in possession of an AK-47, suggesting their deep entrenchment in a well-organized crime network.
The Kaduna State Police Command emphasized that the suspects are cooperating with investigations, revealing valuable information that may lead to further arrests and the recovery of additional arms stashes linked to the syndicate. The Command’s spokesperson, Mansir Hassan, highlighted that such arrests are part of a broader strategy aimed at neutralizing criminal activities across Kaduna and neighboring states. Police Commissioner Ibrahim Abdullahi commended the swift actions of the operatives and assured the public of the Command’s unwavering commitment to dismantling crime networks and ensuring the safety of Kaduna’s residents and travelers.
This latest victory follows a series of law enforcement successes against violent crime in Kaduna, reflecting the state’s heightened security measures against rising kidnappings, gunrunning, and banditry. The police continue to urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, reaffirming their dedication to restoring peace and order in one of Nigeria’s most crime-ridden areas.
