“One of the successes achieved is the prevention of another kidnapping attempt through technical intelligence leading to the capture of the aforementioned Bwari-based kidnappers, and the recovery of weapons from them.”
The public was outraged by the kidnapping of six children and their father in the Bwari Area Council of Abuja on January 3, 2024.
