Nobody Was Kidnapped Along Abuja-Kaduna Expressway- Police

Date:

The attention of the Kaduna Police Command has been drawn to a fake story going round on social media to the effect that about thirty (30) people have been kidnapped along Abuja-Kaduna expressway yesterday and their vehicles abandoned by the road side.

The Command wishes to unequivocally refute the story as fake fictitiously fabricated by some unpatriotic elements to create panic in the minds of unsuspecting citizens who ply the road for their legitimate businesses.

However, it is unfortunate that this fake news coincided with a sad incident yesterday 01/04/2019, when at about 1830hrs some Armed Men at a point near Gidan Visa along Abuja-Kaduna expressway intercepted a Toyota Hilux with REG NO. CT 01 AF belonging to the Judiciary, open fire on the vehicle in the process of which one Mshelia Sulaiman was injured and took away the occupants – a driver and two other ladies. Patrol Teams within the axis quickly moved to the scene, rescued the injured person and rushed him to the hospital. Combine team of operatives from the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, PMF and the Conventional Police have immediately been mobilized to the area for intensive general search operation with a view to rescue the victims and apprehend the culprits. The IGP’s IRT has also been contacted for technical assistance. A bank teller bearing the name of a possible victim and two foot wears have been recovered in the said Hilux which has since been recovered to the Police station. While the operation is still on, investigation on the incident has also commenced and update will follow please.
