Adamawa: Police nab suspected kidnappers, recover N4 million ransom
The police command in Adamawa has arrested five suspected kidnappers in the Mubi North local government area.
This is contained in a statement by the spokesman for the command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, in Yola on Friday.
The suspects allegedly kidnapped an eight-year-old boy and collected N4.079 million ransom from his family, said the police. The command explained that the suspects locked the victim for two days in a hotel in the Maraba Mubi area, where the command’s operatives arrested them.
The N4.079 million was recovered from the suspects.
“The operation carried out by the command’s operatives attached to the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) yielded positive result as the sum of N4.079 million ransom was recovered,” said the police statement. “The outcome of this success followed a report received about the kidnapping of an eight-year-old boy in Mubi, and the suspects took him to a hotel at Maraba Mubi.”
After receiving the report, the command mobilised an intelligence-led driven strategy and apprehended the suspects, aged between 19 and 21.
