The Police Public Relations Officer of the Bauchi State Command, Ahmed Wakili, confirmed these heroic actions in a statement released on Saturday. Preliminary investigations indicate that the assailants had targeted individuals en route from the market and transported them to a hideout within the Red Mountain area in Yankari Forest.

Notably, prior to the rescue operation that took place on Friday, the kidnappers had audaciously demanded a staggering N50 million ransom for each captive, as reported by Channels Television. This successful mission has not only thwarted their criminal activities but also brought relief to the victims and their families.
