The Police Command in Kebbi has rescued a 52-year-old man from suspected kidnappers in Jega Local Government Area of the state.
Abubakar said that on Dec. 2, around 3 am., a gang of suspected kidnappers invaded the residence of one Alhaji Shehu Umar of Kolonkoji village in Jega council area, kidnapped him and took him to an unknown destination.
He added that the invaders also shot Umar’s neighbour, identified as Mustapha Ahmed on his left leg during the invasion.
“Upon receipt of the report, a team of policemen, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Jega, swiftly pursued the kidnappers and engaged them in a gun duel.
