The operation followed reliable intelligence about the movement of armed bandits in the Kajuru area. On February 2, 2025, police forces, with military support, moved into the bush near Doka Village in Kajuru Local Government Area. There, they confronted the bandits who were trying to transport their captives to Kajuru Forest.

The operation, led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Kajuru, resulted in casualties among the bandits, forcing them to retreat into the forest with injuries. As a result, 23 kidnapped victims, who had been missing from Kauru LGA, were safely rescued and reunited with their families.

The statement further revealed that the area would undergo increased surveillance and more patrols to prevent future criminal activities.

Kaduna State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Rabiu Muhammad, reassured the public of the Police Command’s commitment to ensuring security. He emphasized that the Command will continue working with the military and other security agencies to maintain peace and fight crime in the state.
