According to the Kaduna State Police Command, between September and October 3, 2023, 10 alleged kidnappers were detained.

This was said at a news conference held on Saturday in Kaduna by ASP Mansir Hassan, the Command's acting police public relations officer.

He claimed that members of the Command's operations team found three AK-47 weapons, three fake 10-round revolvers, 448 live rounds of 7.62 X 39mm ammunition, another stockpile of 15 live bullets, and an automobile with the license plate Ebonyi HKW 578 AA.

It is important to keep in mind that we frequently communicate with you in an effort to highlight our victories in the struggle against robbery, banditry, kidnapping, and other a variety of crimes.

We desire a strong police-public collaboration in the ongoing fight against criminal elements since everyone has a responsibility to keep the communities safe. "The accomplishments are not without the reassurance of our firm commitment to our statutory duty.

The Command is aware of the state's security problems, including banditry, kidnapping, robbery, and conflicts between farmers and herders, among others.

However, remarkable efforts were not spared in addressing the untoward situation which culminates into the relative peace currently being experienced by the law abiding citizens in the state,” he said.

According to him, the calm security atmosphere in the state is a product of strategic and tactical deployment of human and material resources as well as the purposeful synergy within the security architecture.

The suspects, he said, were being introgated and would be charged to court on completion of investigations.
