The FCT Police Command’s anti-kidnapping unit has rescued two female victims, Mart Ojadi, 15, and Evelyn Chinaza, 12, who were kidnapped by gunmen in Guto village, Bwari, on June 30, 2024.

This was made known in a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, on Sunday.

Adeh disclosed that the police, in collaboration with DSS officials, tracked the kidnappers to Gauraka Forest, Niger State, and engaged them in a fierce gun battle, forcing the criminals to flee with injuries. The victims were rescued unharmed and have since been reunited with their families.

The Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, reaffirms the command’s unflinching commitment to maintaining peace and security in the nation’s capital. He also urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the police emergency lines.
