According to the Kaduna State Police Command, three abducted victims have been freed from Kidandan village in the state’s Giwa Local Government Area.

“After being questioned, the man claimed that a passenger had stolen his motorbike and attacked him with a hammer,” the man stated.

According to the statement, the suspect was apprehended at the Bagadaza Dogarawa area of Sabo Garin Zaria LGA as a result of the agents’ prompt action.

He stated that the suspect was found in possession of a motorbike and a hammer by the police, and that the case was still being investigated.
