According to him, the success was achieved from aggressive patrol along Galadimawa of Giwa LGA while working on credible information.
“The Divisional Police Officer in Kidandan and local vigilante groups moved into the forest, which forced the kidnappers to abandon the victims and escape into the bush,” he said.
He explained that the kidnapping was suspected to have been masterminded by the loyalist of the notorious bandit, late Isah Danwasa, a native of Zaria.
He added that the rescued victims were all from kurega Wusasa and had been reunited with their families.
