She said four suspects \u2013 Yahaya Abubakar of Mpape, Mohammed Mohamed of Zuba, an ex-convict, Umar Aliyu and Nura Abdullahi, also an ex-convict \u2013 were arrested during the operation.<\/p>\n

According to her, the suspects have freely confessed to being members of a notorious bandit syndicate with the name \u2018Mai One Million\u2019, responsible for a series of kidnapping incidents in the territory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coordinated operation, occasioned a shootout between the bandits and the security operatives, forcing them to scamper to safety and victims rescued. The illegally erected structures by the kidnappers in all the patrolled camps, were all decimated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the rescued victims have since been reunited with their families and loved ones, the commissioner of police, FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh lauded the effort of the security operatives in the fight against criminality in the Nation\u2019s Capital,\u201d Adeh added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
