In a statement released on Monday, Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, highlighted that these operations represent a significant escalation in the ongoing battle against criminal elements endangering the safety and security of Nigerian citizens.
According to Adejobi, a majority of the operations took place in Taraba State, where Police operatives from the State Command led a successful mission on March 29, 2025, along the Takum/Mararaba road. In collaboration with other security agencies, officers swiftly responded to a kidnapping incident in Muji Town.
During a fierce gun battle, the operatives managed to rescue 20 kidnapped victims and recover abandoned vehicles at the scene. Two victims who sustained injuries are currently receiving medical attention.
In a separate development in Kano State, an investigation initiated on March 8, 2025, following the kidnapping of Dr. Muhammad Bello Yushau, culminated in the arrest of key suspects. On March 18 and 19, technical analysis by the Anti-Kidnapping Squad led to the capture of Tukur Lawal (alias Maikudi) and his accomplices—Ado Usman, Sanusi Surajo, Habiba Shuaibu, and Ummulkhairi Ibrahim.
Authorities confiscated a locally made rifle and cash amounting to N4,840,000, suspected to be ransom money. The victim was rescued unharmed and has been reunited with his family.
Additionally, operatives of the Special Tactical Squad (STS), acting on credible intelligence, arrested Kafinta Musa of Taraba State on charges of armed robbery, kidnapping, and illegal possession of firearms. An AK49 rifle loaded with five rounds of ammunition was recovered. Efforts are underway to capture other members of the criminal syndicate.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, praised the officers for their courage and professionalism during these challenging operations. The Police Force continues to encourage public cooperation in providing timely information to aid the fight against crime.

VIOLENCE MUST END! ALGON Takes Radical Step To Restore Peace By Banning Transport Unions Across Osun!.
The Osun State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has suspended the operations of all transport unions within public motor parks across the state. This measure was taken in response to a series of violent clashes between rival groups, which the association deemed necessary to maintain public order and protect residents.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Rationale for Suspension: The action follows repeated violent incidents involving factional disputes within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), which resulted in the death of a toddler and the shooting of an elderly man.
-
Safety Concerns: ALGON Vice Chairman, Lanre Balogun, noted that public motor parks had increasingly become unsafe for commuters and operators, turning into hideouts for criminals.
-
Immediate Directive: Effective immediately, all transport unions—including motorcycle and tricycle operators—are prohibited from activities in public motor parks across the state’s 30 local government areas and the Ife East Area Office in Modakeke.
-
Security Measures: ALGON has requested that security agencies take control of these facilities to restore peace and track down individuals involved in the violence, specifically calling for the arrest of NURTW factional leader Nurudeen Alowonle.
-
Legal Basis: Balogun explained that the decision is supported by the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which grants local governments the authority to regulate motor parks and maintain public order. He emphasized that local government chairmen would not allow facilities under their control to become security threats, even if other authorities prioritize political considerations over safety.
The suspension will remain in effect until order is restored and public safety is ensured within the state’s transport sector.
