Nigeria police rescue 21 kidnapped victims in three months

Published on March 31, 2025 at 06:09 PM

The Nigeria Police Force says it has rescued 21 kidnapped victims, arrested key suspects, and seized a cache of weapons and illicit funds in a coordinated series of raids in the first quarter of 2025.

This was contained in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Monday in Abuja.

Adejobi said the operations marked a significant escalation in the fight against criminal elements threatening the safety and security of Nigerian citizens.

The Force spokesman said most of the operations took place in Taraba State, where police operatives attached to the State Command spearheaded one such successful operation on 29 March 2025 along the Takum-Mararaba Road.

According to him, the operatives, in conjunction with other security agencies, swiftly responded to an ongoing kidnapping in Muji Town.

“A fierce gun battle ensued, leading to the rescue of 20 kidnapped victims, along with all the vehicles abandoned at the scene. Two of the victims who sustained injuries are currently receiving medical care.

“Meanwhile, in Kano State, a meticulous investigation was launched on 8 March 2025 following the kidnapping of Dr Muhammad Bello Yushau, which culminated in a series of arrests.

“On 18 and 19 March, technical analysis led police operatives from the state Anti-Kidnapping Squad to apprehend Tukur Lawal, also known as Maikudi, along with accomplices Ado Usman, Sanusi Surajo, Habiba Shuaibu, and Ummulkhairi Ibrahim.

“In their possession, authorities recovered a locally made rifle and N4,840,000 in cash, believed to be ransom money. The victim was rescued unhurt and reunited with his family,” he said.
