Fct Police Take Down Notorious Kidnapper, Rescue Two Victims

POSTED ON February 16, 2024 •   LOCAL NEWS      BY Samuel O . Adeniyi

In a decisive move against kidnapping, the Federal Capital Territory Police Command has apprehended Saidu Abdulkadir, also known as Dahiru Adamu, a suspected leader of a kidnapping gang.

This significant operation unfolded on February 15th, 2024, culminating in the raid of two kidnapper camps bordering Nasarawa and Abuja.

The raid wasn't without its challenges. Upon encountering police officers, the kidnappers opened fire, sparking a tense gunfight.

However, the police prevailed, overpowering the criminals and securing the arrest of Adamu.

This victory wasn't limited to apprehending a suspect; two kidnapped victims, Habu Yakubu and Isufu Abubakar, were also successfully rescued unharmed.

Investigations following the operation revealed a chilling connection between Adamu and a heinous crime.

Preliminary findings suggest his involvement in the kidnapping and killing of Mr Sunday Yahaya Zakwai, the district head of the Ketti community.

This arrest carries significant weight, considering the N20 million bounty placed on two kidnappers by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

This operation sends a powerful message to criminals operating in the FCT: your days of freedom are numbered.

The police, with the support of the community, commit to ensuring the safety and security of all residents.

Commissioner of Police, CP Benneth Igwe, acknowledged the Minister's support and expressed gratitude to the public for their collaboration.

He emphasized the ongoing efforts to eradicate criminal activity from the FCT and encouraged residents to stay vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour to the authorities.

Remember, you can play your part by remaining vigilant and reporting any suspicious activity through the provided emergency lines.
