“Without informants, bandits will be strongly incapacitated and will easily be defeated.”

As reported by TheCable, five girls were kidnapped at the residence of Furfuri earlier in March.

Information on gathered that the perpetrators released a video of the abducted girls wielding ammunition with the kidnappers threatening to recruit them into their daredevil group if the conditions of a ransom were not met.

Meanwhile, the governor’s aide revealed that the joint effort of the Nigerian police and other security agencies played a pivotal role in rescuing the abducted girls without any casualties or injuries.

Governor Matawalle, in his remark, hailed the Nigerian police force and other security outfits which took part in the rescue mission.
