Zainab Abbas, the wife of a High Court Judge, is reportedly missing from her home after being kidnapped by criminals terrorizing the Nyibango, Adamawa State.
As armed individuals are alleged to have kidnapped a clergyman two weeks ago, this is the community’s second case in that time.
Reports state that Abbas was taken while visiting her home in Nyibango, which is close to the headquarters of the 23 Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Yola.
The Adamawa State Police Command confirmed the report stating that a Crack Squad of Special Rapid Response Team (SRRT) and other tactical units have been deployed to rescue the victim.
“Those deployed to rescue the victim will ensure the arrest of the culprits as a further manifestation of the command’s determination to diligently prosecute offenders.
“This deployment will surely assist in coordinating the timely response to distress calls and clamp down on those found committing crimes, as the command has deployed electronic devices to record pictorial evidence of those involved.
“The CP has equally directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations and Deployment to coordinate the designed rescue operation as all divisional police officers are to adopt a stop and Search exercise in their respective areas of responsibility, especially midnights to ensure total domination of the public space, prevent the escape of criminals and possible arrest of trouble makers,” the command said.
