Troops from the 3 Division and Operation SAFE HAVEN have apprehended two notorious kidnappers and seized their weapons during a raid on a criminal hideout in Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State.
The operation, carried out on the night of Saturday, March 15, at around 8:30 p.m., targeted a suspected kidnappers’ hideout at Katume High Grounds. The raid followed credible intelligence indicating that abducted victims were often held there while ransom negotiations took place.
According to sources, the operation resulted in the arrest of two alleged kidnap leaders, Bashir Mohammed and Ismail Mohammed. One AK-47 rifle and a magazine were recovered from the suspects.
“The arrested individuals are currently in custody and are providing valuable confessions to support follow-up operations aimed at capturing their accomplices and recovering additional weapons,” a source stated.
