Katsina Governor Praises Forces for Foiling Kidnapping Plot
Katsina State Governor Dr. Dikko Radda commended the Nigerian military, the Department of State Services (DSS), and local vigilantes for successfully preventing a mass kidnapping in Gidan Iyado, Kakumi Ward, Bakori Local Government Area. The operation, which took place on a Monday, was led by the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Nasir Mua’su, and was based on credible intelligence regarding a planned abduction for ransom by bandits.
The security forces neutralized 18 armed bandits, including a notorious kingpin, Alhaji Musa Duki, who operated from Mununu Forest in Faskari LGA. The operation resulted in the recovery of one G3 rifle, two AK-47 rifles, 14 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, three motorcycles, two cows, and 94 sheep.
Governor Radda assured residents of ongoing covert operations to dismantle the bandit network and prevent further kidnappings in Bakori, Faskari, and surrounding areas.
