Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have rescued five kidnapped victims following a coordinated night operation in the Byazhin area of Abuja, during which two suspected kidnappers were neutralised and two others arrested.
The operation, which was personally led by the Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Mohammed Sanusi, also involved operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, the Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Kubwa Area Command, as well as local hunters and vigilante groups.
Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the development on Wednesday, noting that the rescue followed intensified efforts triggered by recent kidnapping incidents in the Paze community within Byazhin.
