The Nigeria Police Force has made significant strides in enhancing security in Kaduna State, with recent operations yielding impressive results. Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, during press briefing, highlighted the accomplishments on April 10, 2025. The Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Kaduna State Police Command, in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), successfully rescued 17 individuals abducted from Sarkin Pawa, Niger State, on March 3, 2025. The rescued victims, aged between 1 and 35, underwent medical examinations at the Police Clinic in Kaduna and are in stable condition. In a separate operation, police operatives intercepted a Volkswagen Sharan vehicle at Kawo Central Motor Park in Kaduna, confiscating 21 fabricated AK-47 rifles concealed inside. The suspect, 27-year-old Jamilu Suleiman, confessed to being instructed by a union member to deliver the weapons to an unidentified individual. Investigations into the arms trafficking syndicate are ongoing. The police also responded swiftly to a distress call regarding an armed robbery in progress at Doggi Farm along the Kaduna–Abuja Expressway. A fierce shootout ensued, resulting in the neutralization of two robbers and the apprehension of two suspects with injuries. One suspect later died at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Memorial Hospital in Sabon Wuse, while the surviving suspect is assisting with ongoing investigations. ACP Adejobi reaffirmed the Nigeria Police Force’s dedication to dismantling criminal networks, restoring peace, and safeguarding lives and property across the nation.
