Fulani children rescued from bandits’ den in Kogi

The Hunters Group of Nigeria and the Kogi State Vigilante Service, on Monday, rescued three Fulani kids from the den of a kidnap syndicate in Kogi.

The security men arrested three of the bandits that kidnapped the children from Chikara, along the Lokoja-Abiuja road 13 days ago.

The Spokesperson of the hunter group, Abdullahi Yahaya, stated that the rescued boys were not hurt and were in perfect condition while the arrested kidnappers were handed over to the appropriate authorities. The crimials’ weapons were also recovered and handed over to the police.

Yahaya commended the state government and the Commissioner for Solid Minerals, Engr Bashir Gegu, for their support in providing logistics for their operations in the area.

Reacting to the development, Kogi State Security Adviser, Commodore Jerry Omodara (Rtd), said such security success by the operatives was proof that the security network of the state was strong and solid enough to tackle all forms of criminal vices.
