DSS operatives raid kidnappers hideout in Kaduna, kill one, arrest another
Kidnappers behind the abduction of the mother of the famous Hausa singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, have been killed and arrested.
One of the kidnappers was killed during a shootout with the operatives of the Department of State Security, DSS, while his cohort was arrested.
A DSS source in Kano confirmed the development to newsmen on Friday.
The source said the kidnappers met their end after the DSS’ operatives invaded their hideouts at Makarfi Forest in Kaduna State early on Friday.
He said the criminals were caught unaware as they were sharing the ransom they collected when the DSS team stormed their den.

According to the source: “The operatives were able to overpower the kidnappers, killing one instantly and arresting another who is receiving treatment from gunshots he received, while the N26.5 million paid to them was recovered.”
He said the operation was carried out after careful intelligence traced the kidnappers to Makarfi Forest.
He said: “The operation was so successful that the other kidnapper who is receiving treatment is helping the operatives with some credible information on how they kidnapped innocent Nigerians.”
He added: “I can confidently tell you that the kidnappers, Hamisu and Bature, are Fulanis. The one receiving treatment, Bature, is helping the operatives with information on their activities.”
