The Police Command in Zamfara State has foiled an attack by bandits, in Shinkafi local government area, and rescued a kidnapped victim.
This is contained in a statement issued yesterday in Gusau by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, (PRO), SP Muhammad Shehu.
According to Shehu, “On January 2, at about 4:30 a.m., the command received a distress call that armed bandits in large numbers came to the outskirts of Shinkafi town with the intention to kidnap innocent members of the community. The combined team of PMF/CTU attached to the “Operation Puff Adder” responded quickly and foiled the attack.
“Similarly, one Sama’ila Langa, 30 years old, who was kidnapped by the bandits during the incident was successfully rescued by the combined effort of the police and leaders of the repentant bandits.
“The victim has been reunited with his family after being debriefed while normalcy has been restored with improved confidence building patrols in Shinkafi and its environs.”
