“Upon receiving the footage, the Command immediately activated its intelligence team, leveraging digital surveillance analysis and coordinated field operations to identify and apprehend the suspects,” said Abayomi.
“Acting on credible intelligence and investigative leads derived from the footage, operatives of the Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad carried out targeted operations which led to the arrest of one of the suspects.”
The suspect reportedly provided information that led to the subsequent arrest of two other accomplices, believed to have played active roles in the incident, who were also captured on CCTV footage while being interrogated.
The abducted victims, whom Jimoh identified as Mohammed Koro, Muhammad Usman and Musa Alhaji, have been taken to a hospital for medical attention.
“The suspects have made useful confessional statements, which are aiding ongoing efforts to ensure the arrest of other syndicate members. They will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.” Jimoh added.
