Katsina State: Kidnapping Attempt Foiled

On a Sunday, a joint task force (JTF) made up of police and other security operatives were on patrol when they ran into some armed bandits on the Danmusa–Mara Dangeza village road in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State. These bandits were trying to run away with people they had kidnapped. What happened next?

A heavy gunfight started! The security forces were too much for the criminals, who had to run away with bullet wounds. The great news? All 11 victims were rescued without a scratch and are getting the help they need.

Delta State: Key Kidnapper Nabbed

In Delta State, police officers from the CP-Special Assignment Team used good information to arrest Abubakar Hassan, 30. He’s a big player in a kidnapping group that works across Delta, Rivers, Imo, and Enugu States. This guy is bad news!

According to NPF Spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi, Hassan admitted he led many kidnapping operations along the Ughelli-Ozoro axis. He even took the police to a hideout in a forest in Ozoro. What did they find there?

Two AK-47 rifles
Four magazines
32 rounds of live ammunition

This arrest connects to the earlier capture of three other gang members, really messing up the syndicate’s operations. The Nigeria Police Force is really showing who is boss.

More Success on Ughelli Road

More crime fighting! Police officers from the Safer Highway Patrol stopped a vehicle during a routine check on Ughelli Road. They arrested Obi Ezekiel, 38, and found:

A homemade revolver
A pump-action single-barrel rifle
15 live cartridges

The Bigger Picture

These successes show the Nigeria Police Force is serious about fighting crime. By working with other security groups and using smart tactics, they are making Nigeria safer. This also highlights the importance of community support and providing information that helps the police do their job.

What’s Next?

The police are not slowing down! They are committed to finding and stopping criminals, making sure everyone can sleep well at night. Kudos to the NPF for their bravery and hard work!
