The interception happened on Thursday, July 21, 2022 at about 1530hrs.

According to a statement issued by the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Muhammed Jalige, the bandits forcefully stopped three commercial vehicles and whisked away the occupants and were heading to the forest.

He said the resilient operatives on sighting the gang of criminals, immediately engaged them and gave them a fierce chase amidst exchange of fire.

“The Operatives’ courage and precision foiled the kidnap as the bandits fled into the forest with varying degrees of bullet wounds. Eight (8) victims were successfully  rescued, namely; Bilki Abdulkarim, Hanifa Abdulkarim, Rabiu Ahmed all of Birnin Gwari, while Sabiu Yusuf  Aminu Ibrahim, Amina Abdulkarim, Aisha Yusuf are of Udawa village of Chikun LGA Kaduna State and one Faridah Ahmed  of Mando area sustained injury and was rushed to hospital for medical attention,” the PPRO said.
