  Bandit’s Kidnap of 6 Girls in Bwari: IGP upscales tactical Intelligence Teams in FCT

Following the abduction of six young girls in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory last week, the Police at Force headquarters says it has initiated a comprehensive plan of action towards checkmating bandits attacks and rescuing the 6 girls.

 A statement by Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi said, “The Force Headquarters is diligently coordinating efforts to address this and prevent any further occurence, as all hands are on deck to rescue the victims. 

“However, the sensitivity of the situation necessitates discretion, and as a result, specific details are being kept confidential to avoid compromising ongoing operations.

“The NPF is actively engaging and contacting individuals crucial to the rescue operations and investigation. 

“The objective is not only to bring perpetrators to justice but also to intensify efforts in rescue operations for victims still in captivity. 

“Furthermore, recognizing the psychological impact on affected families, the Police are encouraging open communication with their operatives to provide support, information, and assistance to mitigate the psychological warfare imposed by kidnappers on the relatives and loved ones of their victims.”

The six sisters and their father were reportedly kidnapped on Friday 9 Janurary 2024 with their father later released to go and bring the sum of N60million ransom for their release.

One of the six daughters has reportedly been killed by the bandits who dumped her body for the parents of the girl.

It will be recalled that since December 2023, no week has passed without reports of bandits attacks and kidnappings particularly on communities bordering Kaduna, Niger, Nasarawa and Kogi states
