Police Rescue Kidnap Victim Found Tied Up in Adamawa Bush

Operatives of the Adamawa State Police Command successfully took custody of a kidnap victim, Abdullahi Usman, a resident of Unguwan Abuja in Viniklang, Girei Local Government Area, who was discovered tied up and abandoned in the bush on Thursday.

Dependable NG reports that the rescue operation was launched following a distress call received from one Adamu Shugaba, who reported hearing sounds of someone groaning inside an uncompleted building at Jabbore, also in Viniklang. According to a statement released on Friday evening by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, Shugaba found the victim with his hands and legs tightly bound with a piece of cloth.

Nguroje confirmed that the Command acted swiftly by deploying the Divisional Police Officer of Viniklang and a team of operatives to the scene. “The victim was rescued unhurt and rushed to hospital for medical examination,” the statement noted.

The State Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, commended the prompt and effective response of the officers involved. CP Morris has since directed the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the command to officially take over the case to ensure a thorough investigation and the swift arrest of the perpetrators responsible for the abduction and abandonment of Abdullahi Usman.
