This was sequel to the rising incidences of banditry and kidnapping along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway and the failure of the Kaduna Police Command under Abdulrahman to curb the wave of criminality.

Hundreds of commuters have been reportedly abducted by criminal gangs operating in Forests within Kaduna State.

The latest incident involved the abduction of the Secretary, Universal Basic Education Commission, Dr. Mohammed Abubakar and his daughter, Yesmin Mohammed, who were kidnapped along Abuja-Kaduna Expressway on Monday.

While Abubakar and his daughter has since been rescued, his driver was killed during the attack.

CP Aji Ali Janga, who, until now, was the Commissioner of Police in charge of Bauchi State, has been directed to take over as the new CP in Kaduna Command.
