The FCT Police Command in combating crime and ensuring the safety of all residents have rescued Sambo Umar Labibo, a citizen of Burkina Faso, from the clutches of a notorious kidnap syndicate operating within the Durumi IDP Camp.

Police operatives from the Durumi Division on March 18, 2025, at about 3:05 PM, received an urgent report that Sambo Umar Labibo had been kidnapped since March 14, 2025. His abductors forced him to call a close associate, demanding a ransom of fifteen million naira (₦15,000,000).

Upon receiving this intelligence, Police operatives swiftly mobilized and launched a meticulous operation with close collaboration with the victim’s associate, the operatives tactically set a trap for the kidnappers. As the suspects arrived at the designated ransom collection point, they were swiftly apprehended before they could make an escape.
