Operatives from the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, while responding to a distress call on Sunday at about 5:30pm on Piri Kwali Expressway, arrested four suspected kidnappers, whose syndicate (now at large) fired several shots at a Toyota Previa bus and kidnapped some of its passengers after the bus was forced to stop.
This was disclosed by the spokesman of the Command, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, in a statement on Monday.
Manzah said while some of the passengers were rescued by the joint effort of the police and some youths of the nearby community, others are still with the kidnappers.
The four all-male suspects arrested by the police operatives are: Shuaibu Sule 27; Mohammadu Usman, 25; Umar Usman, 19; and Usman Ibrahim, 20.
They are all of Kamadi village, Kwali.
Exhibits recovered from the suspects were one Dane gun, two cutlasses, one iron bar, and one AK 47 ammunition shell.
Anjuguri said the Command is making concerted effort to rescue the victims and arrest the suspects.
