The Zamfara State Police Command has announced the successful rescue of six kidnapped victims during a search-and-rescue operation carried out by its operatives.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Yazid Abubakar, on Friday.
According to the statement, the victims were rescued when a joint team of police officers and Community Protection Guard (CPG) members on highway patrol along the Anka-Gummi road discovered an ash-coloured Peugeot 206 abandoned by the roadside.
The team, suspecting a possible case of kidnapping, immediately initiated a search operation, which led to the safe recovery of six abducted individuals.
The rescued victims were identified as Bakiru Muhammad Masama, Alyh DanTani Masama, Aminu Aliyu Bukkuyum, Ahmad Muhammad Masama, Umar Sa’idu Ruwan Jema, and Shehu Mulluwa.
“The rescued persons have since been reunited with their families,” DSP Abubakar confirmed.
