Man held for alleged kidnapping, possession of arms, ammunition in Kaduna
The police command in Kaduna State has arrested a 35-year-old man (name withheld) for alleged kidnapping in the state.
The police also recovered arms and ammunition in a raid conducted at the suspect’s residence.
This is contained in a statement by the spokesman for the command, ASP Mansir Hassan, on Friday in Kaduna.
Mr Hassan said operatives of the CP Monitoring Unit arrested the suspect on February 29 at his residence in Ganga Uku village, Mararaban Jos.
He said the operatives recovered a fabricated cartridge revolver rifle, a fabricated pistol, two Dane guns, six live cartridges, one discharge GPRG ammunition, seven discharge cartridges, and a blood-stained cutlass.
The police spokesman said the suspect, on February 13, connived with others now at large and kidnapped one Samaila Abdullahi, 40, in the Keke Kingdom area of Mararaban Jos.
“The victim was forcefully taken to an unknown destination,” he said.
He said the suspect was now in custody, adding that “this successful operation underscores the overall commitment of the police command, led by Commissioner of Police, Ali Dabigi C, to maintain law and order in Kaduna State.”
