Determined to rid the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and its environs of all forms of criminality, the operatives of the Command, acting on strategic directive of the Commissioner of Police FCT, CP Ajao Adewale, have arrested three wanted notorious kidnappers/bandits.

A press statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Josephine Adeh, Tuesday, in Abuja, said the Command achieved a major breakthrough with the arrest, which was carried out on June 29, 2025.

According to the spokesperson, “On the heels of an actionable intelligence and a well-coordinated operation led by ACP Victor O. Godfrey, spanning Wukushi, Mpape in the FCT and Rigina, Kaduna state, led to the

arrest of Abdulkadir Abubakar of Mpape, FCT, Mohammed Tasiu Sani 25 years, of Rigina, Kaduna State, and Suleiman Jibrin (27 years, from Sabon-Gayan, Kaduna state.

“The suspects were known to operate deadly camps within the forests of Kachia and Rigina in Kaduna State, where victims were held for extended periods and have been linked to several kidnapping incidents across Jere, Kajuru, and parts of the FCT.

“An operational motorcycle, commonly referred to as a “Boko Haram motorcycle,” was recovered during the operation and efforts are ongoing to recover more weapons and arrest of other fleeing accomplices.”

She said the suspects were in custody and were assisting the Police with further investigations to dismantle their criminal network.

The spokesperson further said their arrest marked a significant stride in the Command’s effort to restore peace and security across the territory.

“While the CP appreciates the resilience and bravery of the Police operatives, he urges residents to support the Police with credible information in the fight against criminality,” she appealed.
