He noted that in Kaduna, following the abduction of one Hussaini Ibrahim from Jagindi Tasha Village, Jema’a Local Government Area, operatives launched a coordinated rescue operation which successfully yielded results when the abductors abandoned the victim in a nearby forest.

Investigations subsequently led to the arrest of four suspects: Umar Yusuf Jabiri of Jagindi Tasha, Buhari Muhammad, also known as “General” of Bayya Village, Ahmadu Nasiru of Gidan Waya, and Zakari Saleh, who were directly linked to the abduction.

Adejobi added that items recovered included one AK-47 rifle and two locally fabricated AK-47 rifles. He urged citizens to remain vigilant, provide timely information, and support the police in their efforts to combat crime and maintain law and order.
