LAGOS
OCTOBER 21ST (NEWSRANGERS)-Abducted Assistant Commissioner of
Police, Musa Rabo, has been rescued.
Rabo, who is in charge of Suleja Area Command, Niger State, was rescued unhurt,
a statement late on Sunday by Force Public Relations Officer, Deputy
Commissioner of Police Frank Mba, said.
He was abducted on Saturday at about 3:30pm, a statement by the spokesman of
the Kaduna State Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police Yakubu Sabo,
said.
Mba said Rabo was rescued by a combined team of Police operatives from Kaduna
and Niger State as and those of Zone 7 Command Headquarters, Abuja, backed by
members of the elite Special Forces of the NPF.
Two male suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident, Mba
further said, adding: “Investigation into the incident is ongoing.
“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!”
