“Three handsets were recovered from the suspects and a sum of two million, one hundred thousand naira collected as ransom negotiated to release two victims earlier abducted at Gwagwalada.

 

“They confessed further that kidnap victims were kept at Gwalo forest. The DPO further mobilised and combed the Gwalo forest in between Lambata and Kafin-Koro areas.

 

“In the process, the tactical teams had a gun battle with the abductors in the forest, while the hoodlums escaped from the hideout and abandoned seven victims; six males and one female at the scene.

 

“The victims were rescued unhurt, taken to FMC for medical attention and reunited with their families,” the PPRO said.

 

He added that the State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Ogundele J. Ayodeji, has reassured members of the public and Nigerlites that the Command will continue to live up to its statutory responsibilities of ensuring a secured environment, with the cooperation of people and provision of adequate information to the Police.
