The Police Command in Kebbi State has rescued five kidnapped victims and arrested three suspects following an operation in Suru Local Government Area.
Police operatives, working alongside local vigilantes, mobilized after receiving credible intelligence that armed men had invaded Dolen Kwandage Village and abducted three residents. The security team pursued the assailants, forcing them to abandon their captives during the ensuing confrontation.
The three newly abducted residents were rescued unhurt alongside two women previously held captive from Yarma Village. All five victims were taken to the General Hospital in Dakingari for medical examination before being reunited with their families.
Three suspects were taken into custody following the operation, while other gang members escaped with suspected gunshot wounds. Security personnel recovered an unregistered motorcycle, ₦308,000 in cash, a chain, and a jerrycan from the scene.
Intensified patrols and surveillance are currently ongoing in the area to track down the fleeing suspects, as security authorities reiterate their commitment to protecting lives and dismantling criminal networks.
