In a coordinated operation based on intelligence and technical support, the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Nigeria Police has smashed an eleven man kidnap gang that had for some time now terrorized Kaduna State, the FCT and the other North-Central States of Nigeria.
This daredevil criminal gang was responsible for the abduction of the Sierra-Leonean Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Maj. Gen. Alfred Claude-Nelson on June 30, 2016, the Executive Director of Dangote Group and many another high profile kidnap for ransom in recent times.
The modus operandi of these criminal elements includes mounting roadblocks on highways in Military uniforms, surprise attack on the unsuspecting motorist and relocating from one point to other in the forest with their victims to avoid detection and arrest.
