The Kaduna State Police Command has rescued 23 kidnapped victims in a joint operation with security forces.
In a statement, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSC Mansir Hassan, said the rescue mission was carried out on February 2, 2025, following credible intelligence on the movement of armed bandits in Kajuru.
Acting on this information, security personnel advanced into the bush near Doka Village in Kajuru Local Government Area, where they encountered the kidnappers attempting to move their victims to Kajuru Forest.
Led by the Divisional Police Officer of Kajuru Division and supported by the military, the operation inflicted heavy casualties on the bandits, forcing them to flee with gunshot wounds.
“The operation resulted in the rescue of 23 victims who had been abducted from Kauru LGA. They have since been reunited with their families,” the statement read.
The police have intensified surveillance and patrols in the area to prevent further criminal activities. Commissioner of Police, CP Rabiu Muhammad, reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to ensuring the safety of residents and pledged continued collaboration with the military and other security agencies to combat crime across the state.
