Monday, November 3, 2025 - The Kebbi State Police Command has arrested two suspected kidnappers and rescued a 14-year-old boy unhurt during a joint security operation in Ka’oje, Bagudo Local Government Area of the state.
The suspects, identified as Aliyu Alhaji Shehu (alias
Altine), 25, and Abubakar Umar (alias Bube), both from Orda village in Bagudo
LGA, were apprehended following a gun duel between security operatives and the
kidnappers in Sada forest.
In a statement on Sunday, the Police Public Relations
Officer, CSP Nafi’u Abubakar, said the operation followed a report that a gang
of five armed men had, on October 18, invaded the home of one Alhaji Buda
Sambo, abducting his 14-year-old son, Aliyu Buda, and whisking him away to an
unknown location.
“Acting on credible intelligence, the Divisional Police
Officer, Ka’oje, mobilised a combined team of policemen and local vigilantes
who pursued the hoodlums into Sada forest and engaged them in a fierce gun
duel,” the statement read.
“As a result of the superior firepower of the team, the kidnappers fled into
the forest with suspected gunshot wounds.”
The kidnapped boy was later rescued unhurt and reunited with
his family after receiving medical attention.
