The statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Yazid Abubakar indicated that the rescued persons were abducted on the 14th of September 2023 about 8pm when a group of men suspected to be bandits armed with dangerous weapons invaded the students’ rented apartment located at the outskirts of Sabon Garin Damba.
Moreso, the PRO added that ‘on receipt of the information the Striking Force of the Command mobilized for a search and rescue operation which yielded a positive result as all the victims were rescued unhurt but operations are still on with the view of arresting the fleeing abductors.’

Also, the PRO urged the good people of the state to furnish the command with credible and timely information on the activities of criminals to salvage the state from all forms of criminality.
