The Adamawa State Police Command has rescued four kidnapped victims and 13 trafficked children in a series of coordinated security operations across the state. 


The Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Falings, disclosed this on Monday at a news conference in Yola, noting that the operations were part of the Command's efforts to combat crime and maintain public safety in the second quarter of 2025.


The CP said that a total of 567 suspects were arrested for various offenses including kidnapping, culpable homicide, armed robbery, child trafficking, and more. 


Also, items recovered from suspects include six AK-47 rifles, stolen vehicles, tricycles, motorcycles, and other exhibits, while two female suspects were arrested in connection with child trafficking.


CP Falings expressed appreciation to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri and Adamawa residents for their support, assuring that the police remain committed to protecting lives and property, and urging the public to stay vigilant and report suspicious activities as security is a collective responsibility.
