The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police anti-kidnapping squad, in a joint operation with the Nigerian Army, successfully rescued five out of the six Al-Kadriyar sisters abducted from the Bwari area of Abuja in early January.
TheHintsNews reports that the sisters were abducted alongside their dad and some residents of the community.
However, their father was immediately released and ordered to pay about N60 million ransom for the children, while one of the sisters, Nabeeha was later killed by the abductors for non prompt payment of the ransom.
FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement issued Sunday said the kidnapped victims from Zuma 1 area in the Bwari Area Council were rescued from the Kajuru forest in Kaduna State around 11:30 pm on Saturday.
Expressing gratitude to Inspector-General of Police IGP Olukayode Egbetokun for deploying the newly commissioned Special Intervention Squad, which enhanced the security architecture of the FCT, Commissioner of Police for FCT Command, CP Haruna Garba, stressed the command’s commitment to sustaining robust security deployment in the region.
He urged the people of FCT to utilise emergency lines for reporting suspicious activities promptly.
