Police nab 5 kidnap suspects in Kaduna

The police command in Kaduna State says its operatives have arrested five notorious kidnap suspects in Kaduna, the state capital.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, confirmed the arrest in a statement issued on Tuesday in Kaduna.

Hassan said that the suspects had partaken in several kidnappings in the North-West zone of the country.

“On May 29, acting on a tip-off from a concerned citizen, a joint patrol team comprising officers from the Saminaka Division and the Hunters Group in Lere LGA successfully arrested three suspects involved in kidnapping and cattle rustling,” he said.

Hassan said that the suspects had confessed to being part of a kidnapping syndicate in Lere council area and admitted to stealing two cattle, which they sold to a 47-year-old man from Dokan Lere, who had also been arrested.(NAN)
