The
Nigeria Police have arrested three members of a notorious gang involved in
kidnapping people in various parts of Kogi State. A statement by the Force
Public Relations Officer, Don Awunah, said the suspects were arrested at Egume
and Anyimgba Towns in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The
statement said the suspects were arrested following a clash between operatives
of the Intelligence Response Team of the Force and members of the gang. It
stated that the operatives were led to the hide-out of the gang members by a
leader of the gang, who identified himself as Ibrahim Nasarawa.
Mr.
Nasarawa was said to have led the police officers to the place where a man
identified as Edward Abutu Amedu was held captive.
“In
another coordinated operation, three members of a dare-devil kidnap gang that
abducted Mrs. Mayo Ohemi, Nichodemus Kadiri and Miss Victoria Abdul from Acharu
Egume area of Kogi State were arrested and their confession led to the rescue
of the victims who were incarcerated in the kidnappers’ camp from where they
demanded a ransom of twenty million naira. The rescued victims who sustained
various degrees of injuries in the hands of their abductors are now receiving
treatment in the Hospital,” the statement said.
The
names of the arrested suspects are: Ojonimi Negedu who is 32 years old; Awodi
