Special forces eliminate kidnappers operating along Kaduna-Abuja highway

Special forces deployed to tackle the incessant kidnapping of travellers along Kaduna-Abuja highways have eliminated scores of bandits suspected to be behind recent abductions.

A video footage obtained by PRNigeria shows the corpses of more than a dozen kidnappers that were killed this week.

A security source told PRNigeria that there was a massive deployment of troops comprising military, police and intelligence operatives in selected communities along the highways.

“Before the Presidential directive, some deployments were however made. The directive has now influenced more deployment and provision of equipment and intelligence gathering tools to fight the bandits.

“We have so far killed more than a dozen armed bandits who attempted to escape on motorcycles after sighting the movements of the troops.

“Most of them are behind recent abductions on the highways as some people identified the corpses as known faces within the communities,” a top military source told PRNigeria on the condition of anonymity.

PRNigeria reports that President Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, gave marching orders to the security chiefs to go after insurgents, bandits and terrorists, at the meeting of the National Security Council, saying they must not rest until all Nigerians sleep with their eyes closed.

The president also ordered security agencies to intensify surveillance and patrol activities along the Abuja-Kaduna Road.
