Katsina Police Rescue Eight Victims from Bandits in Foiled Kidnapping Attempts
The Katsina State Police Command successfully foiled three separate kidnapping attempts by armed bandits in Danmusa and Faskari Local Government Areas, rescuing eight victims.
In a statement released on Monday, October 7, 2024, the police spokesperson, ASP Abubakar Sadiq, revealed that the first incident occurred around 11 a.m. when bandits attempted to abduct two women on the outskirts of Matarau village in Danmusa LGA.
Later, at 2:30 p.m., another group of bandits intercepted two women and their children near Unguwar Kafa junction along the Yankara-Faskari road.
Police officers quickly responded to both distress calls, engaging the bandits in a gunfight. The attackers fled the scenes with gunshot wounds, leaving all kidnapped victims behind, unharmed.
Commending the officers, the Commissioner of Police reaffirmed the command’s commitment to tackling crime and ensuring public safety in the state.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
