According to SP Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, the operation, executed at approximately 06:00 AM, prompted the bandits to flee their hideouts to evade arrest.

The raid was conducted based on credible intelligence indicating that associates of Nasiru Mohammed, alias Danger, were planning a kidnapping spree in Zuba and its environs as retaliation for the arrest of their comrades.

Nasiru Mohammed, also known as Danger, had been apprehended and paraded by the police on March 11, 2024, for his involvement in several kidnapping incidents within the FCT.

During the raid, the police were able to recover various items from the abandoned camp, including firearms and cows believed to be part of the gang’s loot from their criminal activities.

In response to this operation, CP Benneth C. Igweh, the Commissioner of Police for the FCT, has intensified crime prevention patrols across the region to thwart further kidnapping attempts.

CP Igweh reiterated his commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all residents within the FCT, urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police through their emergency contact channels.
