Police in Kaduna State, in collaboration with members of a vigilante group, have rescued a cleric abducted on Nov. 3. The police spokesman in the state, ASP Mansur Hassan, stated in Kaduna on Monday that the assailants and family members of the cleric had agreed on a ransom of N4 million before the police struck.
He explained that the Kafanchan Divisional Police Headquarters got the report of the abduction on Nov. 4, making operatives and vigilantes trail the assailants to Dogon Kurmi Forest, where a gun duel ensued. “The operatives tactically and successfully dislodged the hoodlums and rescued the clergyman unhurt.
Two suspects, residents of Datti and Dogon Kurmi villages, were arrested over the abduction. An AK-47 rifle loaded with two rounds of live 7.62x39mm ammunition was recovered from the suspects,’’ Hassan stated. He added that two of the assailants were still at large. Hassan urged members of the public to report any person or persons nursing bullet wounds to the closest police station or any security outfit.
