In a bold operation, police operatives and soldiers in Katsina State, successfully foiled two separate kidnap attempts, rescuing six victims and engaging the suspects in shootouts.
Unfortunately, two victims succumbed to gunshot injuries sustained during the attacks.

According to the Katstina State Police Public Relations Officer, Sadiq Aliyu, the first incident occurred on Saturday, when a distress call regarding an attempted kidnapping on the Jibia-Kauran Namoda road was received at the Jibia Divisional Police Headquarters.

Adding that swiftly, the police operatives and soldiers engaged the suspects in a gun duel, rescuing four kidnapped victims and rushing them to the hospital for medical attention. Tragically, one victim died from gunshot injuries.

In a separate incident, the Faskari Divisional Police Headquarters received a distress call about another kidnapping attempt at Unguwar Boka village, Faskari local government area, along the Funtua-Gusau road.

The operatives also responded promptly, engaging the assailants in a shootout and rescuing two kidnapped victims unharmed. Regrettably, one victim was fatally shot during the attack.
