The Kaduna State Police Command has rescued three kidnapped victims and dislodged a suspected bandits’ hideout in Makarfi Local Government Area.
The command made this known in a statement issued on Saturday by its Police Public Relations Officer, Mansir Hassan.
Mr Hassan said the operation followed credible intelligence received on 21 August about suspicious movements around Gidan Mijin Gwaggo, Durum, in Makarfi Local Government Area.
He said the Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad, directed the Divisional Police Officer, Makarfi Division, to lead a patrol team, in collaboration with local vigilantes, to the area.
According to him, the suspected kidnappers opened fire on sighting the security personnel, leading to a fierce gun duel.
