Police Operatives of the Katsina State Police Command, in a collaborative effort with the military, the Department of State Services (DSS), and local vigilante outfits conducted two successful operations that dealt a severe blow to armed banditry in the state.

In a separate operation on the same date, at about 7 AM, the joint security team, acting on credible information, intercepted suspected armed bandit in Unguwar Adam and Unguwar Judo villages, Danmusa LGA. A fierce gun battle ensued, resulting in the dislodging of the bandits' hideout. 3 suspected informants, who were providing information and logistical support to the bandits, were apprehended and 2 operational motorcycles and 2 bicycles were also recovered during the operation.

The rescue operation was conducted by a combined team of police officers and vigilantes in the Dakingari forest on April 10, 2025. Upon sighting the team of operatives, the kidnappers took to their heels. The victim was rescued unhurt and is currently receiving medical treatment at a local facility before being reunited with his family.


These successful operations highlights the importance of collaboration between the police and local communities and demonstrates the resolve of the Nigeria Police Force to combating armed banditry and similar violent crimes, ensuring the safety and security of our communities. The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D, NPM, commends these gallant operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Armed Forces and local security groups.
