Security Officials in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have killed a notorious kidnapper kingpin Magamu, also known as Godara.
The Department of Force Intelligence-Intelligence Response Team (DFI-IRT), along with FCT Command Anti-Violent Crimes Section and Anti-kidnapping Section killed Magamu and two others on Friday.
The officials successfully neutralised the trio after a gun battle between security operatives and the deadly gang.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the security operatives engaged armed bandits at the early hour of Friday, January 26, and killed three members of the gang, including Magamu, who was the leader of the group.
Adejobi explained that the armed men killed were the group terrorizing, operating, and kidnapping innocent citizens from Bwari-FCT, Kaduna, and Nasarawa States.
He said:
“This is another significant stride towards fortifying the security landscape in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), following the recent launch of the Special Intervention Squad (SIS) and the Nigeria Police Force under the command of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Olukayode Egbetokun will continue to comb bushes and shanties in border areas between the FCT, Niger, Kaduna, and Nasarawa States.”
