Police Rescue Kidnapped Officer, Arrest 2 Suspects

Malik Yahya/

Police authorities in Abuja have announced the rescue of an officer who was abducted this weekend in Suleja.

The officer, ACP Musa Rabo, was rescued unhurt today.

The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Frank Mba, told NewsmakersNG that Rabo was successfully rescued this evening by a combined team of Police operatives from Kaduna, Niger and Zone 7 Command Headquarters Abuja, backed-up by members of the elite Special Forces of the NPF.

“Two male suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident. An investigation into the incident is ongoing,” Mba said.

He revealed that the officer was travelling in his civil dress, with his private vehicle and without escort or any special security at the time of the incident. 

“He was not targeted as a cop. It was purely an opportunistic crime, indiscriminately and maliciously targeted at citizens using that particular road. He was, perhaps, positionally unlucky at the time of the incident,” Mba said.
