There was a violent clash between two kidnap syndicates recently, in a forest in Galadimawa Town, Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, over an attempt by both camps to take custody of a female victim who escaped from one of the gang’s den.
At the end of the bloody fight, 11 members of both warring gangs were killed, while the victim, identified as Binta Abusafyan, managed to escape unhurt in the process.
She reported the incident at the Force Investigation Bureau- Intelligence Response Team, FIB-IRT, Ragachigun base in Kaduna.
She explained how she was kidnapped by a kidnap syndicate and taken into the forest, where she managed to escape. But in her bid to find her way back, she said members of another kidnap syndicate kidnapped her.
As her new captors were taking her to their camp from where calls would be placed to her family for payment of ransom, members of the first gang stumbled into her and their attempt to take her back to their camp was resisted by the new captors thereby leading to an altercation that degenerated into the free use of firearms by both parties.
