Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Operatives of Police Mobile Force, 70 Squadron in Kabba, Kogi State on Friday foiled attempt by a gang of kidnappers to abduct passengers of a commercial bus along Ayere road in the state.

The kidnappers had blocked the road and were in the process of abducting the passengers suspected to be 18 in number when operatives arrived the scene.

The timely arrival of the armed policemen jolted the kidnappers who immediately engaged the police operatives in a gun duel.

The kidnappers, however, abandoned their victims and escaped through the nearby bush due to the superior fire power of the policemen.

Spokesman of the state police command, SP William Aya confirmed the development.
