She was rescued on Wednesday alongside three other victims by a joint team of police operatives with military and vigilantes.

Narrating the entire episode to newsmen at the command headquarters, Sokoto State commissioner of police said, “On 26/05/2024 at about 0230hrs suspected bandits invaded Badon Runji Area Sokoto and kidnapped one Barrister Rukayya Mustapha ‘F’ and One Salim Abdulsalam.

“On 29/05/2024, police operatives from Yabo Division, in conjunction with military and vigilante groups, acted on credible information and went on a rescue operation.

“The team went to the scene around Binji axis from where they traced footprints towards a forest where the suspected bandits/kidnappers were traced and routed, which resulted in the subsequent rescue of three victims, one suspect neutralised and one fatally injured.
