In a daring rescue operation, Kaduna State police intercepted kidnappers transporting Segun Akinyemi to Kano from Abuja.
Gunfire ensued during the confrontation, resulting in the arrest of Chinaza Philip, one of the kidnappers.
Despite the escape of other culprits, the police are actively pursuing them.
Recovering a vehicle, three pistols, and ammunition, the authorities intensify efforts to bring all perpetrators to justice.
The victim, abducted on January 17, 2024, outside his Abuja home, is now safe, thanks to the swift police response.
While three suspects remain at large, law enforcement prevented the victim’s transport to Kano.
Ongoing investigations aim to identify the gang leader and the other two involved.
