The police have rescued an eight-year-old boy abducted in Gombe State.
The police said his rescue followed a two-day intelligence-led operation that also led to the arrest of four suspects.
The Commissioner of Police, Umar Chuso, stated this on Wednesday during a press briefing in Gombe, where he outlined the command’s recent achievements in tackling kidnapping, armed robbery, cybercrime, and other criminal activities.
Mr Chuso said the child’s father reported his disappearance to the Akko Divisional Police Headquarters on 28 June after the boy failed to return home, having left the previous evening.
He said detectives immediately launched an intelligence-driven investigation, which led operatives to the suspects’ hideout on 30 June.
