The Nigeria Police Force has recorded a major breakthrough in its fight against violent crime with the dismantling of a notorious kidnapping syndicate linked to a series of abductions and killings in communities along the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)–Nasarawa border.
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Aniete Okon Iniedu, disclosed this on Tuesday, saying operatives of the Force Intelligence Department–Special Tactical Squad (FID-STS) arrested two members of the gang through intelligence-driven operations and technological surveillance.
According to him, the coordinated operations were carried out between June 24 and 26, 2026, in Gbagalape in the FCT, Mararaba in Nasarawa State, and parts of Abuja.
The suspects were identified as Buhari Adamu, 25, and Abubakar Saidu, 28, both believed to have played active roles in several violent attacks, kidnappings and murders within the FCT–Nasarawa axis.
