Daredevil kidnappers, Sunday night, reportedly opened fire on a bus, a Toyota Previa, conveying eight passengers at Kwali, Abuja.

An eyewitness said the kidnappers jumped onto the highway and started shooting, thereby forcing the driver of the Toyota bus to stop, and then they kidnapped passengers.

Luck, however, ran out of the kidnappers when communities along the expressway made distress calls to the FCT Police Command.

Consequently, operatives from FCT Command, comprising anti-kidnapping patrol teams and counter-terror units, were dispatched to the scene and engaged the kidnappers in a shootout. They rescued some of the passengers.

Four members of the kidnap gang were arrested, while others ran into the bush with some of the passengers.

4 suspects arrested

Confirming the kidnap attack and rescue of some of the passengers, the FCT Police spokesman, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, said: “Operatives of the FCT Police Command, while responding to the distress call on Sunday, in Piri Kwali expressway, arrested four suspected kidnappers.

“While, some of the travelers were rescued by the joint effort of the police and some youths of the nearby community, others are still with the kidnappers.
“The four suspects arrested by the police operatives are Shuaibu Sule aged 27; Mohammadu Usman, 25; Umar Usman, 19, and Usman Ibrahim, 20. All of Kamadi village Kwali.”

He listed exhibits recovered from the suspects, who kidnapped the passengers, to include one Dane gun, two cutlasses, one iron bar and one AK-47 ammunition shell.

Hmmm

Insecurity getting worst under Major General Muhammadu Buhari Rtd

That Lokoja Okene road has been a den for criminals, bandits/gunmen for about 5years now..


Same with Kaduna-Abuja road....Where military generals will rather use the train than confront bandits on the express way...


We are not the safest country, Somebody should tell Lai Mohammed that posterity will seek him and will find him.

Evans' brothers

I miss the old Nigeria

Tt

Lets not forget Next Level Campaign Promises in a hurry...its being fulfilled....

Community policing or Amotekun is the way forward. It will forestall some of these crimes from happening.

This menace has escalated 100 folds in the few years that Buhari has been president. Is it a coincidence? I think not.

What those captive must be going through right now

Vision 2020 is working

Next level

It's a lie, there names are Evans chuks, Nathaniel Barth, Chidozie martins and Sunday Enugu. Why did you change their names? I have been shouting about kwali abaji road, kidnappers have been killing people there since. Thank God police did there job this time around. Those of you hell bent on destroying Nigeria, using religion to perpetrate your evil, someday you will reap it. You will be next. This evil kidnappers and killers shoot passengers not minding your tribe, religion or age. Yet idiots that should see how we all are sitting on keg of gun powder are the ones making light of the situation. You are next.

The suspects arrested by the police operatives are Shuaibu Sule aged 27; Mohammadu Usman, 25; Umar Usman, 19, and Usman Ibrahim, 20. All of Kamadi village Kwali.”

Let's Wait And See Maybe SAMUELIOUS NATHALIOUS Knows About It
