Lafia, Nasarawa State — August 25, 2026
Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has commended the Department of State Services (DSS) for arresting three suspected kidnappers operating within the state, describing the arrests as an encouraging step in the fight against insecurity in Nasarawa.
The commendation comes as the Nasarawa State Police Command separately reported a successful rescue operation, in which police operatives attached to the Andaha Division freed four kidnap victims during a swift tactical response to a distress call.
Together, the two operations reflect an intensifying multi-agency effort to combat kidnapping in Nasarawa State, which continues to grapple with security challenges even as Governor Sule's administration touts substantial gains from increased federal allocations tied to Tinubu-era economic reforms.
As of this report, further details on the identities of the arrested suspects, the location of the rescue, and the specific charges being pursued had not been publicly released.
