Men of the Nigerian Police anti-kidnapping squad in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have rescued a woman and her three children from armed kidnappers in a swift response to credible information on the kidnappers.
Reports gathered that the woman, alongside her children, were abducted at Kekeshi village in Abaji area council, on Sunday morning.
But upon receiving a distress call, the FCT Police squad, our correspondent learnt, swiftly responded and stormed the community in a “Commando Style”.
“Our anti-kidnapping squad engaged the gunmen in a fierce gun battle, and thereafter overwhelmed the criminals.
The woman and her children were rescued safely around 1:30 pm yesterday,” a Police intelligence officer disclosed.
Recall that the FCT Police Command had launched a strategic counter-kidnapping operation to checkmate emerging security concerns, early this month.
Acting on credible intelligence, the command on Saturday, 6 February 2021, arrested six suspected kidnappers along Apo axis.
The suspects identified as Frank Ozor (26), Nweke Uche (19), Chester Uzor (25), Chukwu Bethrand (27), Chukwu Samuel (25) and Kelechi Ngene (26) are all Fulanis of Igbo descent.
The suspects who had earlier abducted three persons were arrested by eagle-eyed Police operatives on routine patrol while attempting to relocate one of their victims.
Further investigation led to the rescue of two other victims who identified the suspects.
