The command equally rescued three kidnapped victims from the kidnappers’ den.
The bandits operating between the Bauchi and Plateau States border were said to have been ambushed in the operation carried out on April 22, 2024, following credible information received regarding their suspicious activities.
A statement issued on Thursday, April 25, by the spokesman of the command, SP Ahmed Wakil revealed that the detectives deployed from Gumau, Tilde, and Tulu Divisions encountered armed bandits during their routine patrol and engaged in a firefight in self-defence, resulting in the neutralisation of four suspected kidnappers.
It added that two of the suspects who later died confessed to multiple kidnapping incidents across Bauchi and Plateau States, including the heinous killing of a village head in Ruruwai village, Lame district, Toro LGA, Bauchi State, on March 17.
“Based on the information provided by the late suspects, the detectives proceeded to the kidnappers’ hideout to rescue three kidnapped victims from Dokayel village, who were taken captive on 20th April 2024.”
“In a subsequent firefight with the remaining accomplices guarding the hostages, four (4) kidnappers were also neutralized, and the three (3) captives were safely rescued without any ransom paid.” the statement partly reads
