We Went There To Gang-Rape His Wife – Bandits Who Kidnapped Man In Kaduna Reveal

The operatives of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) have rescued a family man from bandit terrorists in Kaduna State.

The terrorists are said to have kidnapped their victim, Mallam Jibril Saidu at his house on April 29th this year.

From their confession after arrest, the criminal elements said they had stormed Saidu’s wife that night purposely to gang-rape his wife.

However, upon sighting the husband (Saidu) in the house, they resolved to abduct him for ransom.

The two suspected bandits arrested are Abdurahman Lolo and Muhammed Sanni.

Their arrest, Naija News understands was made following a distress call to the Operation Puff Adder that some kidnappers had invaded the Bandoko community in Kaduna.

He said: “At about 11.30 pm on the 29th of April 2022, some bandits attacked a house in Bandoko to kidnap a woman and gang-rape her all night.

“The woman who sells ‘fura-de nunu within the area had been monitored by the suspects before the attack.

“Upon breaking into the room of the woman, they found her with her husband. At this point, they changed their plan from kidnapping and rape to kidnapping for ransom. The invaders demanded the key to the motorcycle of the 35-year-old husband, Jibril Saidu.

“After collecting the key, they forced him to remove his shirt and trousers, which were used to blindfold him and tie his hands to his back. They stole his bike, put him on the bike and escaped from the village into far away Gbadoko forest.”

The police mouthpiece disclosed further at the force headquarters that immediately after the terrorists left, the mother of the husband raised the alarm and the residents came out but could not chase after the invaders for fear that the kidnappers may be armed with guns.

The villagers, however, immediately organized local vigilantes to secure the community and then sent a distress call to the IRT operatives attached to Operation Puff Adder for urgent action, Naija News learnt.

Narrating further CSP Adejobi said: “When the police arrived, the villagers assisted in showing them directions and they chased after the kidnappers. Around 5 am on the 30th of April 2022, the police officers were able to trace the invaders into their hideout at Gbadoko forest where the suspects on sighting the police officers, abandoned their victim and motorcycle and fled into the thick forest.

“The police officers continued their chase after them and were able to arrest one of the kidnappers, Abdulrahman Lolo, a 20-year-old and further investigations by operatives of the FIB-IRT led to the arrest of the other member of the gang, Mohammed Sanni, a 26-year-old.”

During interrogation, both suspects confessed to the crime and are assisting the police with information.

In his confession, Abdurahman Lolo said: “I and one Abubakar Baya rearing cows in the same village were part of the operation.

“Abubakar asked me to follow him to a Fulani Ruga settlement in the same area. We planned to abduct a woman to rape her, but it turned out to be the kidnapping of her husband.

“We only made use of torchlights, cutlasses and sticks, not a gun. Others who went together with me for the operation are Sani, Abubakar, Uto rapere boys of Alhaji Lolo of Gadam Mallam-Mamam. The other boys I mentioned have been going out for operations before, but this is my own first time. The role I played was to mount road and pass information to other members who escaped when police chased us,” the terrorists confessed.

The victim, Jibril, narrated how he was abducted by the suspects and eventually rescued by IRT operatives.

“An unidentified group of persons invaded my house, flashed torchlights in my eyes and I couldn’t see. They threatened to kill me and my family if I do not cooperate with them. They ordered me to remove my clothes, and at the same time, requested the key to my motorcycle, which I quickly surrendered to them. They used my clothes to blindfold my eyes and tied my two hands to the back. They led me out of the house to my bike and drove me away. I was rescued by the IRT men.” he explained.
