Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Police Command in Katsina State has foiled simultaneous attacks on three quarters in Jibia Township, Jibia Local Government Area of the state and rescued 21 abducted victims.<\/p>\n

ASP Abubakar Sadiq-Aliyu, the Command\u2019s Spokesman, who disclosed this in a statement in Katsina on Friday, said the efforts were in collaboration with the Army, members of the State Community Watch Corps, and Vigilantes.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn a swift and coordinated response, we successfully foiled simultaneous bandits\u2019 attacks at Ka\u2019ida, Unguwar One Boy, and Danmarke quarters in Jibia Township, Katsina State, on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt about 9:15 pm on Thursday, suspected armed bandits launched coordinated attacks on the two communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the swift response of the joint security team led by the DPO Jibia repelled the attackers, resulting in a fierce gun duel that lasted for over an hour.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe superior firepower and tactical advantage of the joint security team eventually forced the bandits to retreat with unspecified casualties as the operation resulted in the successful rescue of 16 victims trapped by the bandits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadiq-Aliyu regrettably said that another five persons rescued sustained gunshot injuries as a result of the bandits\u2019 attack, and they were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.<\/p>\n

The police spokesman added that: \u201cSadly, one member of the state\u2019s security outfit, and a vigilante member lost their lives during the encounter, paying the ultimate price,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The spokesmen assured that further development would be communicated in due course.<\/p>\n
