Police collaborate to rescue kidnapped lawmaker

The Police Public Relations Officer in Katsina State, DSP Salisu Agaisa, says Katsina and Kaduna States are collaborating to rescue Alhaji Sani Bello, a member of House of Representatives, from kidnappers.
Agaisa said Bello, representing Mashi/Dutsi Federal Constituency in Katsina State, was kidnapped two days ago by unknown persons.
He was kidnapped at his farm in Gobirawa village of Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Agaisa told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Katsina that police detectives had already swung into action with a view to rescuing the victim.
“Though, the incident occurred in Kaduna State, I want to assure you that the two police commands are sharing intelligence information with the aim of rescuing the Member,” he said.
Agaisa further explained that the police were working hand-in-hand with Bello’s family to ascertain whether the kidnappers had demanded for a ransom.
“For now, we don’t have information about whether the captors have demanded ransom from any quarters,” he said.
Agaisa urged the public to assist the police with vital information that would assist to rescue the victim unharmed from his captors.
