Zamfara State Police Command has rescued six kidnap victims following a search-and-rescue operation.
In a statement, the Spokesman for the command, DSP Yazid Abubakar, says the victims have rescued when a joint police and Community Protection Guard team on highway patrol along the Anka-Gummi Road noticed an abandoned Peugeot 206 by the roadside.
DSP Abubakar says, suspecting a kidnapping incident, the security operatives immediately launched a search operation, leading to the safe recovery of the six victims.
Those rescued, according to him, were Bakiru Muhammad Masama, Alyh DanTani Masama, Aminu Aliyu Bukkuyum, Ahmad Muhammad Masama, Umar Sa’idu Ruwan Jema and Shehu Mulluwa.
The rescued persons who largely hail from Bukkuyum Local Government Area of the State have since been reunited with their families.
