The Adamawa State Police Command executed a successful operation in Gwewan Village, within the Song Local Government Area, resulting in the rescue of two kidnapped victims. The operation was part of a coordinated response by police forces and local security outfits, which has been intensified due to the increasing incidence of kidnapping in the region. The spokesperson for the command, Suleiman Nguroje, reported that this effort resulted not only in the safe recovery of the victims but also in the arrest of one suspect linked to the abduction.

The operation took place following intelligence gathered by the police which led to a raid on a suspected kidnappers’ hideout located at Suktu Mountain. This strategy was commended by Police Commissioner Dankwambo Morris, who emphasized the importance of combined security assets in combating crime. The successful intervention by the police highlights the ongoing struggles faced by local authorities in addressing security challenges, especially as kidnapping for ransom remains a prevalent issue in northeastern Nigeria.

The recent rescue operation marks a significant achievement for the Adamawa State Police, as they continue to face the complex challenge of public safety amidst the backdrop of persistent armed groups in the region. The effective execution of this operation not only restores hope to the local community but also serves as a reminder of the need for ongoing vigilance and collaboration among various security stakeholders to ensure public safety and order.
