The bandits were overpowered and escaped with various degrees of bullet injuries leaving behind their victims.

FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh said the rescue is part of efforts by the command leadership, in a sustained joint operation with other security agencies and vigilantes and hunters from the various local communities, to combat violent crimes in the FCT, rescue victims and bring perpetrators to book.

She also said the commissioner of police, FCT Police command, CP  Haruna Garba has vowed that, while effort is being sustained to prevent any further threats to safety and security of residents, the command would also not relent in ensuring the rescue of any resident held hostage by criminals and bring the perpetrators to book.

The commissioner of police called for the cooperation of residents, especially in being security conscious and giving credible information to the police.
