Several bandits have been dislodged and 16 kidnap victims rescued in some forests bordering Abuja and Kogi State by operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.
Acting on intelligence, according to a source, the policemen stormed the forests on Sunday, January 1, 2023, following reports of kidnappings in Anguwan Yango, Gulida, Chakumi, and Paikon Bassa villages in the Abaji area council.
