The Katsina State Police Command has foiled a kidnap attempt and rescued six students of the Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA) and their driver after armed bandits intercepted their vehicle along the Kankara-Dutsin-Ma road.
Zagazola Makama reports that the incident occurred at about 9:45 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 21, around Unguwar Kanawa-Dantudu Village, when the armed bandits reportedly blocked the road and intercepted a Volkswagen Golf 3 with registration number BCH 58 SB.
The vehicle was driven by 35-year-old Sani Umar of Dutsin-Ma and was conveying the six female students from Kaduna to Dutsin-Ma.
Following a distress call, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Kankara, led personnel of the Police Violent Crimes Response Unit (VCRU) to the scene.
