The supposed victim reportedly decided to return from Kaduna after the ransom was not forthcoming.
“The boyfriend, along with other suspects, two of whom are now in custody, planned and executed the attack,” he said.
Mr Lawan said that despite burying the victim, police investigators managed to photograph the victim’s remains and gather critical evidence.
Mr Hundeyin said the suspects, both residents of Oniwaya in the Agege area of the state, were apprehended at 1:50 p.m. on Sunday.
The suspects were attempting to steal three rolls of copper wire.
Mr Shiisu said the duo allegedly harboured the fleeing suspected kidnapper and armed robber.
