The Kebbi State Police Command has rescued six kidnapped victims unhurt in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
Police spokesperson CSP Nafiu Abubakar said in a statement that on November 2, 2025, about twelve armed bandits invaded Ukuhu, Tungar Wazga, and Unguwar Chiroma villages, abducting ten people.
Acting swiftly, the Divisional Police Officer of Danko led a joint team of police officers and vigilantes to pursue the attackers. They intercepted the bandits at Marina village near the Zamfara border and engaged them in a fierce gun battle.
