Three kidnapped victims have been rescued by coordinated raids carried out by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) attached to the Obajana Division, Kogi, in collaboration with the Nigerian Army and Fulani vigilantes.
The victims were saved unharmed following a gunfight between the joint security team and the kidnappers, according to a statement from William Aya, the police public relations officer at Kogi State Command.
The criminals abandoned their captives and escaped into the bush with gunshot wounds after being overpowered by the operatives’ superior firepower.
According to investigations, Abdulazeez Adamu and Musa Abdullahi, both of whom were abducted on May 15, 2025 while driving a J5 along Osara Road, were driving along the Plateau State’s Mangu Local Government Area.
They were traveling from Plateau State to Ekpoma in Edo State.
Yusuf Ibrahim, a resident of Kaduna State’s Zaria Local Government Area, was the third victim, who was also taken on the same day and in the same location while traveling in a trailer.
