Police Rescue Two Victims in Katsina Kidnapping Attempt
The Katsina State Police Command successfully foiled a kidnapping attempt at approximately 4:30 am, rescuing two victims who were unharmed. The operation was initiated after the Bakori Divisional Police Headquarters received credible intelligence regarding the movement of armed bandits from Tamarke Village in Tsiga District of Bakori LGA towards Ganzaki Hill in Malumfashi LGA.
The Divisional Police Officer of Bakori mobilized a joint team of police operatives and local vigilantes to intercept the suspects. During the engagement, a fierce gun duel ensued, resulting in the dislodgment of the bandits.
The police recovered one AK-47 rifle with 24 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, five rustled animals, and a Tecno keypad mobile phone. Additionally, an injured suspected bandit was arrested, and the body of another bandit was recovered.
An investigation is ongoing to apprehend other fleeing suspects and recover the remaining rustled animals.
