The Adamawa State Police Command has nabbed 69 people suspected to have been involved in kidnapping, armed robbery, homicide and violence in parts of the state.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Olubenga Adeyanju, who paraded the suspects on Monday, said the police made the arrests in the course of dislodging kidnappers, Shila Boys, armed robbers and cattle rustlers from their hideouts.He said the suspected kidnappers were rounded up when, following information, operatives of the state police command and members of vigilantes and hunters, stormed a hotbed of kidnappers called Yadim Hills on May 29, 2020, and apprehended seven suspects.
He added that the suspected kidnapping gang also kidnapped one Aminu Hassan, Isah Usman and Hamza Adamu of Uba village in Hong LGA and demanded N10 million ransom before they were rescued.“The group further confessed to have kidnapped Dodde Zumo and Ya’u Mohammadu, both residents of Zumo in Maiha LGA and collected N1 million before they were apprehended.
He said the six belonged to a syndicate that frequently called and threatened their target to pay millions of naira or risk being kidnapped, but that the command, following complaints of members of the public, arrested them.
