Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Munsir Hassan, in a statement on Saturday, said the team executed a decisive operation that led to the arrest of the suspects, namely; Yahaya Abdullahi, Shamsu Ibrahim, Linus Obasi and Hauwa Mohammed, all residents of Dutsen Wai Village in Kubau local government area of Kaduna State.

He said during interrogation, Yahaya Abdullahi confessed to conspiring with Shamsu Ibrahim to kidnap a female victim from Rahama Village, adding that the victim was taken to Linus Obasi’s brothel, located in Gidan Dogo in Dutsen Wai Village, where she was handed over to Hauwa Mohammed, the caretaker of the hotel.

“The victim was held captive for four days until a ransom of three million Naira (₦3,000,000) was paid before the victim was released and reunited with her family,” ASP Hassan stated.

The police spokesperson added that efforts were ongoing to apprehend other members of the syndicate at large and to recover their operational weapons.

“In the same vein, On 6th November, 2024, at about 17:30 hours, operation Fushin Kada operatives deployed to a village in Ikara Local Government Area successfully tracked down and arrested two members of a notorious kidnapping syndicate that has been terrorising residents in the area.

“The suspects, identified as Surajo Hassan and Abdulhadir Usman, confessed to their involvement in multiple armed robbery and kidnappings. Among these crimes was a recent case in which the syndicate kidnapped a victim and held him captive for sixty days. The victim was only released after his family paid a ransom of Eight Million Naira (N8,000,000).

“The suspects admitted to receiving One Million Naira (N1,000,000) each as their share of the ransom. Further investigations are ongoing for the possible arrest of their accomplices.

“Additionally, On 13th November, 2024, officers from Operation Fushin Kada acted on credible intelligence and successfully apprehended one Audu Abdullahi, a 27-year-old male, in Kujama, Kaduna.”

According to the police command, preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is a member of a notorious cattle rustling syndicate. During interrogation, he confessed to being part of a syndicate that frequently carry out operations using two AK-47 rifles and other dangerous weapons.

Following his confession, the Police spokesperson said a team of operatives conducted a search operation in a nearby bush, which led to the recovery of a locally made firearm and charms used by the gang, adding that efforts were currently underway to track and apprehend other members of the criminal syndicate.

Also, officers from Operation Fushin Kada responded to a distress call from the Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVS), reporting suspicious activities at the Kaduna State Trade Fair Complex where a group of individuals were sighted vandalising armoured cable wires at the location.

“The team arrested the following suspects: Salisu Mohammed, Mohammed Abubakar and Aliyu Isah. All suspects are residents of Hayin Na’iya in Kaduna Metropolis,” he stated.

Upon interrogation, the suspects confessed to being members of a syndicate who specialised in vandalising armoured cable wires who mentioned one Abubakar Garba and Isiaku Abdullahi as their receivers, the statement revealed.

“Based on this information, the investigation was extended to Malalin Gabas and Rigasa. The team successfully apprehended the two suspects who also confessed to their roles as criminal receivers,” he added.

ASP Hassan further said all the suspects will be charged to court after the completion of preliminary investigations, adding that the State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Abdullahi, has commended the Operation Fushin Kada officers and assured the public that the Command remains steadfast in its commitment to protect public infrastructure and ensuring the safety and security of all citizens in Kaduna State and beyond.
