Security Operatives Rescue Kidnapped Abuja Sisters Inside Kaduna Forest
By Daily Hint Reporter, Abuja.
A successful joint operation led by the Federal Capital Territory Police anti-kidnapping squad, in collaboration with the Nigerian Army, has successfully rescued five out of the six Al-Kadriyar sisters abducted from the Bwari area of Abuja in early January.
A source who preferred not to be named told Daily Hint that the victims were rescued from the Kajuru forest in Kaduna State around 11:30 pm on Saturday, January 20, 2024.
Also freed were four members of lawyer Oladosu Ariyo’s family, the wife and three other children, kidnapped in the Dutse area of the capital.
The kidnappers killed Folashade Ariyo, a 13-year-old, who was initially kidnapped with them, just as they killed one of Al-Kadriyar’s daughters, identified as Najeeba. She was a 400-level student at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
FCT police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the news and commended the efforts of the security operatives involved in the rescue mission.
Expressing gratitude to Inspector-General of Police IGP Olukayode Egbetokun for deploying the newly commissioned Special Intervention Squad, which enhanced the security architecture of the FCT, Commissioner of Police for FCT Command, CP Haruna Garba, stressed the command’s commitment to sustaining robust security deployment in the region.
