The Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, said “these latest breakthroughs have led to the rescue kidnapped victims, neutralization of suspected kidnappers and the recovery of a large cache of illegal firearms and ammunition.”

In Katsina State, a major success was recorded on June 8, 2025, when a combined JTF comprising Police operatives and other security agencies, foiled a kidnap attempt along the Danmusa–Mara Dangeza village road in Danmusa LGA.

The driver of the vehicle, Obi Ezekiel, aged 38, was arrested in the process.
