Mba said the move was to support the Police Command in Zamfara to combat banditry, kidnapping and other related crimes.

The police spokesman said Adamu condemned the barbaric and callous abduction of the female students.

Mba said the joint rescue operation was being carried out with the military, other security agencies, Zamfara State government and key stakeholders.
