Operatives of the Nigerian Air Force deployed at Durbunde in Takai Local Government Area of Kano State have successfully arrested a 35-year-old “high-profile kidnapper”, Isah Abdul.
The arrest was carried out at about 6.30pm on Monday, following credible intelligence on the hideout of the notorious kidnapper and his boys.
According to the Director Public Relations, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, preliminary investigation revealed that Isah Abdul and his gang were responsible for the abduction of one Yakubu Ibrahim Tagaho, popularly known as “Sarkin Noman Gaya,” on 6 April 2023, from his residence in Tagaho Village in Takai Local Government Area.
He added that the the victim was, however, released a month later after a ransom of N30,000,000 was collected.
He noted that, “In December 2023, the same criminal abducted two sisters and three others in the same village and released them after collecting a huge ransom.
“He is also responsible for several other kidnapping activities as he has strong ties to other known kidnapping gangs like the Danbul Fulaku gang that also operates in Takai LGA.”
He further revealed that Abdul is currently in the custody of the Nigerian Air Force, still undergoing investigations and will soon be handed over to appropriate authorities for further proceedings.
