Police authorities, in partnership with other security agencies, have recorded major successes in their sustained efforts to crack down on violent crimes in the country. The latest is the rescue of abducted persons, the killing of suspected kidnappers, and the recovery of large caches of illegal firearms and ammunition in Delta and Katsina states.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, says that in Katsina State, a major success was recorded on June 8, 2025, when a combined JTF comprising police operatives and other security agencies foiled a kidnap attempt along the Danmusa–Mara Dangeza village road in Danmusa Local Government Area (LGA).
Adejobi said this was possible by engaging a group of armed bandits attempting to flee with kidnapped victims in a gun battle that led to the rescue of eleven victims. (Channels)
