The incident occurred at Dan’arau village along the Magama-Jibia Road in Jibia local government area of Katsina State.

According to a press release by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, the kidnappers were suspected armed bandits. They opened fire on two commercial vehicles, creating chaos in an attempt to abduct the occupants of the vehicles.

The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Jibia LGA, leading a team of operatives, responded swiftly to the distress call. The police engaged the bandits in a fierce gun battle, successfully thwarting the kidnapping attempt and rescued 14 victims from the scene.

Unfortunately, two of the rescued individuals sustained gunshot injuries and were immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment. Tragically, one of the victims succumbed to injuries despite receiving medical attention.
