"The
kidnappers later called and demanded a ransom of N3 million (three million
naira) and directed that the ransom be taken to them in a certain place situated
at a remote side of Zumo Mountain.
"The
Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Adamu Alhaji, immediately deployed the command's
machineries to augment the strength of the operatives attached to Song division
and vigilantes.

in an attempt to escape, fired sporadically to scare our men, but when fire was
returned, one of the kidnappers was neutralised and the kidnapped victim was
rescued unharmed.

directed them to sustain the tempo and to go after the fleeing suspects.
"The command,
while reassuring of its commitment to protect lives and property, calls on
members of the public to continue to report to the police any suspicious character
around their neighbourhood," he said.
