Operatives of the Nigeria Police in Bauchi have rescued 16 kidnapped victims during a raid on kidnappers’ hideouts in the Lame Burra Forest in Ningi Local Government Area of the state.

The police also neutralised scores of the kidnappers while intensifying efforts to arrest and prosecute the fleeing suspects who escaped with possible bullet wounds.

The rescue operation was carried out in line with Operation Restore Peace (ORP), which comprises police, military, and other quasi-security outfits, particularly local hunters on a routine patrol.

A statement by the spokesman of the command, SP Ahmed Wakil, issued on Sunday, disclosed that the combined security outfits reportedly stormed the kidnappers’ den located on top of the mountain situated in the Shande area of Kurmi, a village on the outskirts of Burra, on September 2, 2023.

The command gave the names of the rescued victims as Zahariya Ibrahim, 17, female, from Dana Village, Burra; Walida Idi, 16, female, from Sabon da Mazai Village, Burra; Maryam Shehu, 25, female, from Sabon Gida Mazai village, Burra; Abubakar Adamu, 15, male, of Ruwan Dinya village, Burra; and Muntari Badamasi, 40, male, of Shaka Leme village in Burra.



Others are Ibrahim Abdullahi, 15, male, from Ruwan Dinya village, Burra, Sani Abdullahi, 10, male, from Ruwan Dinya village, Burra; Ibrahim Rabi’u, 30, male, from Shaka Leme village, Burra; Saleh Umaru, 35, male, of Matigwai village in Sumaila Local Government Area of Kano State; Isah Tashi, 20, male, from Kere Village, Burra; and Tasi’u Abdullahi, 30, male, ‘ from Shaka Leme Village, Burra.

Victims who were rescued with injuries include Alh. Shuaibu, from Kurmi village, Burra; Alh. Bammi, from Kongoro village, Burra; Mai Unguwa Shende village, Burra; Dantsoho Mai Shayi, from Kurmi village, Burra; and Abubakar, from Matigwai village, Sumaila Local Government Area of Kano State.

Wakil said the injured victims have been taken to Burra General Hospital for immediate medical treatment.

According to Wakil: “On sighting the team of combined operatives, the kidnappers started firing at the operatives. However, in response, the operatives repelled the kidnappers with superior firepower, which lasted for about two hours. As a result, 16 kidnapped victims were rescued, five of whom sustained various degrees of injuries, while the remaining 11 were rescued unhurt.”

May God bless our galland police officers.

great work from the security personnel
major work now is ensuring they are not re-kidnapped

No comment

Thank God for their safe rescued

Hmmmm, let me reserve my comments

Thank God

Kidnappers should be shot at sight. We can't be wasting government resources to feed them in jail or wasting fuel to power prison vans to drive them to court for trial.

Now security is part of the new Regime efforts, kudos! No paddy paddy

This rescue mission should come down to the east, we need them there

Fulani terrorists bending d necks of their hausa slaves.

The narrative is changing from "gunshot wounds" to "possible gunshot wounds".
Why can't we see dead bodies of some wicked kidnappers or bandits? Usually they are neutralized.

Are they meant to be neutralized?

Good.

Nigeria police is the Empire of the GOOD - 5%,
THE BAD - 70% and
THE UGLY - 25%.

They just went around kidnapping these little girls for their tramadol induced pleasure.

NEUTRALIZE THEM ALL

Funny name,(burra).
Anybody know wat dat name means in English?

This looks like their wife's and children.

Good one from the Nigerian police force.

This is strange. Nigeria police usually act only when big men are involved i.e either the victim is a big man, or the criminal is a big man.

Evil country with evil mind

This is what we want, not bribe taking

This new IG is commendable

Please keep it up

No hidden place for the evil.

Good one..... From npf

Lol they rescued pulo kids. Those kids don't need saving they're the bandits!

FuckTheMod:
Good.

Nigeria police is the Empire of the GOOD - 5%,

THE UGLY - 25%.

The truth about Nigeria police is that if they give you the work, you won't be able to do it.
Standing under sun, being under appreciated.
No proper bullet proof or equipment to do your job.
The criminals will even be richer than you.
-
I heard a case where the police arrested some robbers and locked them up.
One of the robbers inside the prison started gisting one police about their robbery and how much they make.
That police later released them and started clearing way for them to rob more and settle police later.
Because he saw his police work as just pure sh1t suffering.
-
They sha later caught the thieves again and that police. That's how this story came out.

sheeee, they are ipob?😛😛😛😛😛😛

Good work by the gallant men... Please let's see pictures of the neutralized kidnappers and pictures of the ones caught. If these men want to work they would but most times they are involved in the kidnappings especially in places like Akpabuyo, Cross River State where kidnappers "settle" security operatives

A very good and brilliant job done by our security operatives. Thanks for rescuing the victims. More power to your elbow and please try to eliminate them all
