A recent intelligence report from the Nigeria Police Force has exposed a kidnapping plot through the interception of a phone call between kidnappers in Karu, near Abuja, and Kabusa in the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n
The report, titled “Plan by armed bandits to attack yet-to-be-identified location around the FCT, Abuja,” discloses that the kidnapping operation is scheduled for January 17, 2024. During the intercepted call, the suspected kidnapper in Karu sought information about the targeted house, and the informant sought clarification, revealing that other gang members had been invited for the operation on the specified date.<\/p>\n
This revelation underscores a concerning upward trajectory in kidnapping incidents in and around the FCT, with syndicates being mobilized by informants residing in local communities. The report emphasizes the critical need for immediate and decisive action to curb this growing menace.<\/p>\n
The intelligence unit strongly recommends alerting the FCT Police Command and other tactical teams, urging the formation of a dedicated unit to address the infiltration of armed bandits in the FCT, particularly in locations recently targeted by criminal activities.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the report suggests potential collaboration with the intelligence unit for the analysis of the suspected informant’s contact number, aiming at facilitating a swift arrest and intervention to preempt the planned kidnapping on January 17, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
