Giwa, Kabiru Mohammed, and Yusuf Hassan, at their criminal hideout in Sauka, Abuja and the suspects confessed to being responsible for series of kidnappings within the FCT and its environs, and the killing of seven victims in the process.

These gangs have launched attacks in Dakwa, Dawaki, Aco estate, Dupe Village Zuma Rock, Kuchiko village and some villages in Niger and Kaduna. They also led police operatives to another hideout in Gauraka Forest, Suleja, Niger State, where they dug out four AK-47 rifles, 13 AK-47 magazines, and 162 rounds of 7.6 mm live ammunition.

In Borno State command, on the 25th of October 2024, the Command Crack Squad coordinated a covert operation in Chingowa Village, Konduga LGA, Borno State, which led to the arrest of six suspected kidnappers identified as Modu Bindimi, Koso Modu Gana, Kassim Bulama, Isah Muhammed, Zarami Fantami and Modu Bunu.
