The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun has commended the recent successful rescue of two minors who were victims of a heinous kidnapping incident that occurred in November 2022 in Jangebe, Zamfara State.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer (FPPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, armed bandits had invaded the residence of Honorable Aminu Ardo, abducting his wife and four young children.
However, their successful rescue after 19 months in captivity was a culmination of strategic initiatives and operational tactics implemented by the Nigeria Police Force, leveraging advanced intelligence and tactical support from various units including the Katsina State Police Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad and the Nigerian Air Force 215 FOB, Funtua under the coordination of the Office of the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.
While celebrating this triumph, Egbetokun expressed determination to combat kidnapping and other violent crimes head-on, emphasising the relentless pursuit of criminals and the commitment to enhancing security measures through technology and intelligence-driven methods.
