Kidnappers will no longer be granted bail – Wike

The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has declared his determination to prevent kidnappers from being granted bail, emphasizing that those apprehended will face legal consequences. Wike made this commitment during a security town hall meeting held at the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) on Friday.

Wike said: “Gone were the days when kidnappers would be granted bail. I will not allow it again. We will ensure that the kidnapper is punished. How will a kidnapper be granted bail?”

The police, through their anti-kidnapping unit and the Rubochi Division Police Headquarters, reported the rescue of 14 abducted victims.

The statement from the command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, revealed that the operation occurred on Wednesday. The success was attributed to the ongoing efforts in combating kidnapping in the nation’s capital city.
