Jalige said that the victims were rescued on September 3 at about 4pm by operatives of the command’s Operation Whirl Punch.

He gave the identities of the rescued victims as Halima Rabiu, 16, and Suwaiba Nura, 27, who were kidnapped from Dindibis Gangara in Galadimawa district.

He added that the kidnaped victims were medically evaluated and handed over to their respective families.

The PPRO said that the personnel were on crime prevention patrol and surveillance along Shillalai Road in Galadimawa where they intercepted a gang of bandits bearing sophisticated weapons.

“The bandits succumbed to the superior tactical firepower of the Police and fled in disarray into the forest with varying degrees of bullet wounds.

“Upon further push into the forest, the operatives rescued two female kidnapped victims forced to be abandoned by their fleeing abductors.

“An unregistered operational Honda motorcycle belonging to the kidnappers was equally recovered,” he said.
