    The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has rescued kidnapped victims in separate operations in Adamawa and Bayelsa States, reaffirming its commitment to tackling organized crime and ensuring public safety.

    According to a statement on Monday by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police executed coordinated rescue efforts that led to the safe return of victims without any ransom payment.

    Adejobi said the police rescued a Special Assistant to the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC),  who was kidnapped on March 7, 2025, in Ayakoro Community, Ogbia Local Government Area.

    The statement reads in part: “Acting swiftly, security operatives restricted the movement of the kidnappers, exerting pressure that led to the safe release of Mr. Akari and another unidentified victim. The police confirmed that no ransom was paid in securing their freedom.

    “In another breakthrough, police operatives successfully rescued two Catholic priests, Reverend Fathers Abraham Samman and Matthew David Dusami, who were kidnapped on February 21, 2025, in Adamawa State”.

    “Following intelligence-driven investigations, security operatives arrested one Tahamado Jonathan Demian, 34, a suspected accomplice believed to be a member of the same church as the victims. The operation led to the priests’ safe rescue on March 8, 2025.

    “During the raid, police recovered a locally fabricated assault rifle, ammunition, a mobile handset, and several SIM cards. Authorities are intensifying efforts to apprehend other fleeing members of the gang. The rescued priests are currently receiving medical attention.

    “The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, commended the officers for their professionalism and bravery in carrying out the successful operations. He assured Nigerians of the Force’s resolve to dismantle criminal networks, rescue kidnapped victims, and bring perpetrators to justice.

    “The police urged citizens to cooperate with security agencies by providing credible information to help combat crime and safeguard lives and property”.
