On Valentine‘s Day, February 14, unknown armed men invaded Gobiraje Village in Suru LGA of Kebbi State and kidnapped one Umaru Bawa, aged 60.

Upon receiving the report, police operatives attached to the Kebbi State command trailed the suspects to Tundafari Forest in the Dakingari axis of the State and engaged them in a fierce gun duel.

Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the story, said four of the kidnappers were neutralised and one arrested with fatal injuries while the kidnapped victim was rescued unhurt.
The operatives also recovered the cash sum of N3,000,000 already paid to the kidnappers as ransom.

Also, on February 8, 2025, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force attached to the Imo State Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, carried out a tactical operation targeting an IPOB/ESN terrorist camp located in Ezioha Mbaitolu within the Umuele Umuaka Njaba LGA of the State.

The operation led to the neutralisation of two ESN Kingpins, the recovery of seven AK-47 rifles, 13 pump-action guns, hundreds of assorted live ammunition, and the successful dislodgement of the camp.

The investigation also showed that as a follow-up, on February 9, 2025, the operatives moved to the Nkwukwo Forest in Mbaitoli LGA, at the boundary with Ubachima Forest in Awomama Oru West LGA, Imo State, where the team intercepted a group of terrorists who opened fire upon sighting the police.

During the ensuing exchange, three terrorist kingpins were further neutralised; two AK47 rifles, each loaded with 36 rounds of live ammunition, one pump-action gun, one cutlass, four motorcycles, and various criminal charms were also recovered.

ACP Adejobi further said these operations reflect the force’s commitment to maintaining law and order and show its determination to dismantle criminal networks that threaten citizens’ safety.
