Bandits abducted four women in Suleja: Police
The police command in Niger on Thursday confirmed the abduction of four women by bandits at Haske Dabara community, Agwan Gwari Kwamba of Suleja local government area.
The police commissioner in Niger, Monday Kuryas, confirmed the incident in Minna.
“Yes it (the kidnapping) happened at about 1:00 a.m. last night and already anti-kidnapping team, the army, and vigilante had been deployed to rescue the victims,” said the police chief. “We will do everything humanly possible to apprehend all those miscreants undermining the peaceful coexistence among residents.”
He added, “I am appealing to residents, especially rural dwellers, to come forward with credible information on the movement of strange faces among them to the nearest security personnel for necessary security action.”
The commissioner solicited more working support by coming forward with intelligence information that could aid the security personnel deployed across the state in the ongoing fight against kidnapping, banditry, and other criminal elements in the state.
A witness said the bandits entered the community at about 12.46 a.m. firing gunshots that scared residents away.
