Operatives of the Katsina Police Tactical Unit repelled an attack by bandits and rescued one Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi-Tafashiya.
The State police spokesperson, SP Gambo Isah, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, 4 September, 2022 in Katsina.
According to Isah, the police command received a distress call to the effect that eleven terrorists on motorcycles and armed with AK-47 rifles attacked the residence of one Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi-Tafashiya, aged 60, of Kankia LGA and abducted him to an unknown destination.
Upon receipt of the report, Isah said, the DPO in that area led a tactical unit to the area and blocked the hoodlums at Juga village.
