The well-coordinated operation, executed on 19 February 2024 around 6:30 pm, followed credible intelligence pinpointing the hideout of Isah Abdul and his gang, who were linked to numerous kidnapping incidents in the region.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Isah Abdul and his criminal cohort were responsible for the high-profile abduction of Yakubu Ibrahim Tagaho, also known as “Sarkin Noman Gaya,” on 6 April 2023, from his residence in Tagaho Village, Takai LGA.

In a subsequent criminal act in December 2023, Isah Abdul targeted two sisters and three others in the same village, releasing them only after collecting a substantial ransom. Notably, he maintains strong ties with other infamous kidnapping gangs, including the Danbul Fulaku gang operating in Takai LGA.
“As of now, Isah Abdul is in the custody of the Nigerian Air Force, undergoing thorough investigations. Authorities plan to transfer him to the appropriate legal channels for further proceedings,” the statemenr, signed by Air Vice Marshal Edward Tablet, Air Vice Marshal, Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, revealed.
The arrest signifies a significant victory in the ongoing efforts to combat kidnapping activities and enhance security in the region.
