Enugu State Police Command says it has rescued 211 kidnapping victims and arrested 6,240 suspects during 17 months of security operations. The police also says it recovered 156 firearms in the same period.
Police Commissioner Mamman Giwa made the disclosure in Enugu while receiving the Assistant Inspector-General of Police. Vanguard and The Punch both report the figures, describing them as part of sustained efforts to tackle kidnapping and related crime in the state.
Across the two outlets, the core points remain consistent: the number of kidnapping victims rescued (211), suspects arrested (6,240), and firearms recovered (156). Vanguard additionally specifies that the police recovered 1,486 rounds of assorted ammunition, while The Punch focuses on the headline rescue and arrest totals. Neither outlet provides detailed breakdowns of individual cases in the reported summary, nor does either outlet describe operational tactics or timelines beyond the aggregate 17-month period.
