Plateau: Kidnapped DPO Rescued From Abductors

The Plateau State Police Command has disclosed that it has rescued the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Pankshin, SP Nwapi Augustus, who was abducted by gunmen.

The command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Alfred Alabo, made the disclosure in a statement issued on Sunday in Jos.

Alabo said that following the police officer’s kidnap at 8:30 pm on January 11, the command, in collaboration with other security agencies and hunters in the area, swung into action and eventually freed him from his captors.

”The officer has been taken to the hospital for medical examination and treatment, and will soon be reunited with his family,” he said.

The PPRO said that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Bartholomew Onyeka, had deployed a tactical team toward ensuring that the perpetrators were arrested and brought to book.
