The operatives of the FCT police command from the anti-kidnapping unit today, June 30, 2024 rescued two female victims, Mart Ojadi, 15 years old, and Evelyn Chinaza, 12 years old, kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Guto village, Bwari, e, at about 01:30 p.m., and forcefully taken to an unknown location.
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this in a press statement that the police, in synergy with DSS hunters, displayed a remarkable bravery, trailed and advanced on the assailant, tactically ambushing them at Gauraka Forest, Niger State, bordering FCT.
This led to an intense gun duel as the kidnappers were overwhelmed by the operatives, forcing them to scamper to safety through the nearby bushes with varying degrees of bullet injuries, and the two kidnapped victims were rescued unhurt.
While the victims have since been reunited with their family, the commissioner of police, FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, psc, mni, reaffirms the command's unflinching commitment to maintaining peace and security in the nation's capital. He also urges the residents to be vigilant and take advantage of the police emergency lines in reporting suspicious activities through: 08032003913, 08028940883, 08061581938, and 07057337653 PCB: 09022222352, CRU: 08107314192.
