The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has made a firm commitment to never grant bail to kidnappers.
Wike is determined to ensure that those found guilty of kidnapping are punished in accordance with the law.
He expressed these sentiments during a security town hall meeting held at the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, on Friday.
However, 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 federal capital has recently been plagued by kidnappings, with individuals being taken from their homes.
In response, the police have carried out successful operations to rescue 14 abducted victims.
The police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, stated that the operation occurred on Wednesday and is part of the on-going efforts to combat kidnapping in the nation’s capital.
