According to ASP Manir Hassan, the Kaduna State Police Command’s acting public relations officer, who verified the attack, said the event happened about 11 p.m. on Friday.

Seven ladies were kidnapped and brought to an unidentified location, he said, while five individuals who were waiting outside their home were shot dead by the robbers.
Hassan added that on Saturday morning, all seven kidnapped women were freed when the police responded to a distress call and tracked the criminals.
The criminals were wounded by gunfire during the operation, the police official added, but only one was captured.
The Kaduna State Police Command reports that throughout separate operations in various sections of the state, it has detained 10 alleged kidnappers.

He revealed that the suspects had been found with a number of deadly weapons, including three AK-47 rifles, three fake revolvers, 448 rounds of live 7.62 x 39mm ammunition, and other items.
