The Police spokesperson said: “Immediately we got the report, the Commissioner of Police has activated and instructed the anti-crime squad to take all necessary measures to rescue the victim.”

Kidnapping for ransom has assumed a different dimension in some parts of the country.
With the regular arrest and the public parade of the major culprits, there are still growing security concerns on attacks and kidnapping in some villages. The Nigerian police had succeeded in parading many ring-leaders of kidnapping gangs, especially those that operate on the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
