The Yobe State Police Command has rescued 2-year-old Abdulkareem Moh’d, who was kidnapped in Potiskum Local Government Area.

Police have also arrested a suspect, Abdullahi Aliyu, from Kakuri, Kaduna State, after he demanded a ₦2 million ransom.

The State Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Dungus Abdulkarim, said the swift action by police operatives led to the rescue and arrest.

The operation followed a complaint lodged by the toddler’s father, Muhammad Isayaku.

Abdulkarim said the suspect was traced and apprehended in Kaduna State after an investigation revealed his involvement in similar incidents in other states.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Emmanuel Ado, urged parents to be vigilant and watchful over their children, emphasizing the importance of promptly reporting incidents to the nearest police station.
