The police in Kaduna State successfully thwarted an abduction endeavor targeting a man and his wife in the Rigasa area of the Igabi Local Government Area of the state.
The confirmation of this incident was provided by the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, to the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Kaduna.
He stated that the couple was rescued by the command’s operatives around 2:05 am on Saturday.
Hassan further explained that the patrol operatives successfully thwarted the kidnapping attempt along the route from Train Station to Mando Junction and Mahuta village in Igabi.
“At about 02:05 hours, our operatives intercepted a call that bandits invaded a house.
“The operatives immediately mobilised to the area and engaged the whole area; as a result of that, the bandits abandoned their captives.
“The rescued husband sustained injuries on his shoulder and head but was rushed to Yusuf Danstsho Memorial Hospital for medical attention.
“The wife has since been reunited with her family,” he said, adding that police had intensified patrol to arrest the culprits.
“Generally, Rigasa area remains relatively calm.”
Emphasizing the command’s dedication to eliminating crime in the state, Hassan urged residents to furnish the police and other security agencies with reliable and credible information.
