The Kaduna State Police Command has apprehended six individuals suspected of kidnapping following credible information from an escaped victim and intelligence from the public. State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, revealed the arrests and dismantling of a suspected hideout located in Ikara Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The escaped victim informed the police on Tuesday, pinpointing a residence belonging to Ja'e Samalu, a 65-year-old man from Dogon Pako Village, as the site of his captivity. Upon receiving the complaint, the Ikara Police Division, working with the local vigilante service, conducted a raid that led to the arrest of six suspects aged between 20 and 65.
These suspects are currently under police custody while an investigation is underway to determine their specific roles in the crime. Additionally, efforts are being made to apprehend other members of the criminal network, according to the statement. Kaduna's Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammad Rabiu, praised the police and locals for their timely reporting, urging residents to stay alert and report any suspicious activities to their nearest police station.
He also cautioned against the use of residential buildings as hideouts or holding facilities for kidnapped individuals, stressing that vigilance and information-sharing are key to preventing and dismantling criminal networks in the state.
