The incident occurred at Dan’arau village along the Magama Jibia road in Jibia local government area.

According to a press release by the command’s  Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, the attack was carried out by suspected armed bandits armed with dangerous weapons.

They opened fire on two commercial vehicles, creating chaos in an attempt to abduct their occupants.

The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Jibia, leading a team of operatives, responded swiftly to the distress call. The police engaged the bandits in a fierce gun battle, successfully thwarting the kidnap attempt. No fewer than 14 victims were rescued from the ordeal.
