The PPRO added that upon receipt of the report, a team of policemen from Babura Divisional Police Headquarters rushed to the scene and rescued the kidnapped victim unhurt.

“Both the kidnapped victim and the injured one were rushed to the Babura General Hospital for treatment where the kidnapped victim was treated, discharged and was reunited with his family.

“The shot victim, however, was transferred to Rasheed Shekoni Teaching Hospital, Dutse,” the PPRO said.

Shi’isu said following the distress call received from Babura Division that the suspected kidnappers were heading towards Ringim area, the police, in collaboration with members of vigilante group, mounted a stop and search at Daushe village along Ringim Kanya-Babba highway.

“On sighting the police, the suspects abandoned their car (Opel Vectra) and fled to an unknown destination.

“When the vehicle with reg. no. NEN 20 NZ Anambra state was searched, one AK 47 riffle, one magazine, 15 rounds of live ammunition and cellphone were recovered,” he added.

Shi’isu, assured that efforts were being intensified to arrest the fleeing suspects.
