The Department of State Services,
DSS, has made public, names of suspected kidnappers arrested in 2017 with
support of other security agencies.
In a statement signed by a DSS
spokesperson, Tony Opuiyo yesterday, the agency noted that the arrest of gang
members of the notorious kidnap kingpin, Terwase Akwaza, among other high
profile terrorists in the country, was made possible through its tactical
operations.
The statement reads…
“The hunt for the notorious
kidnap kingpin, Terwase Akwaza (aka Ghana), led to the arrest of some of his
close associates. For instance, on June 9, 2017, the trio of Dondo Orsaa,
Terhile Mbaloha and Teryima Ihiambe (aka Clark) were apprehended at various
locations within Katsina-Ala LGA, Benue State for their sustenance of kidnap
operations across Benue and Taraba States.
“During the operation, one AK-47
rifle, a 9mm Pistol, Ammunition and complete set of Army uniform were recovered
from ORSAA. Relatedly, on 10thApril, 2017, one Terna Sapko, an informant to the
Akwaza syndicate was arrested around the Army Barracks in Takum, Taraba State.
“The Service on June 9, 2017 in
Aviele, Etsako West LGA of Edo State arrested 15 kidnap suspects led by Lance
Corporal Samaila MADU, a dismissed soldier.
“Another member of the gang, Ibrahim Topa
sustained gunshot injury on his left leg while trying to escape. Similarly, in
Ebonyi State, one Chinonso Onwe (a.k.a Abino Flash) was arrested at Izhia
Community, Ohaukwu LGA “on June 1, 2017, by the Service in collaboration with
the Community’s Security Council for Armed Robbery and Kidnapping. He was
identified to be a member of the confraternity.
“During his arrest, two locally
made pistols and a pair of Nigerian Army fatigue were among items recovered
from him.
“Falgore Forest Criminals:
“Prior to those arrests, the
Service on May 11, 2017, in collaboration with the Military, at the Kano State
stretch of the Falgore Forest, arrested five suspected Kidnappers/Cattle
rustlers namely – Sani HASSAN (aka Ashana); Suleiman Abdullahi (aka Dogo Sule);
Bashiru Abdullahi (aka Lamo); Amadu Abdullahi (aka Mallam); and Auwalu Sanda
(aka Maitaru).
“Alesa Abdulkarim:
Also, on May 17, 2017, along the
Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) road, Rivers State, the Service arrested
one Alesa Abdulkarim, for his alleged involvement in the kidnap of one Mayowa
Akinkuade
“Similarly, on May, 19 at Achala
Autonomous Community, Obowo LGA, Imo State, the Service arrested one Chinyere
Onyeanulum for his connection with the kidnap of one Jennifer Chizitere Anuruo.
“Aminu Aliyu…
“On May 28, 2017, the agency also
arrested Aminu Aliyu in Sokoto State for the kidnap of Ifeanyi Amos (a Nigerian
Army Captain) on May 27, 2017 along the Jaji-Kaduna Highway.
“Yusuf Aliyu:
On June 7, 2017, Yusuf Aliyu was
arrested at Ungwar Danmani, Rigasa, Kaduna-North LGA, for his suspected
membership of the syndicate terrorizing users of the Abuja-Kaduna Road.
“Isah Baki-led Gang:
“Again, on June 9, 2017, at
Dankande village, Rigachiku, Igabi LGA, Kaduna State, the Service confronted a
notorious kidnap gang. Though Isah BAKI, leader of the gang escaped with
gunshot wounds, three of his members namely: Hassan Abdullahi (22 years),
Abubakar Abdullahi (27 years) and Suleiman Abdullahi (30 years) were arrested.
“On the same day, along the
Nnamdi Azikiwe Express Road in Kaduna, the Service engaged another dangerous
kidnap group and arrested two of its members: Yusuf Sani and Yusuf Adamu. Two
AK-47 rifles and nine live ammunitions were recovered from the suspects who are
currently being interrogated.
“Abdulhamid Isiaka:
“Committed to the effort aimed at
achieving a terror free country, the Service sustained its counter
terrorism/insurgency operations. To this effect, it continued the degrading of
the capabilities of these terrorist elements. Consequently, the Service in a
joint operation with the Military on 9th June, 2017, arrested Abdulhamid Isiaka
(aka SMALL) and Habib AUDU, at Obajana and Ibilo in Kogi and Edo States
respectively.
“It is instructive to note that
ISIAKA is a Libyan returnee, who had travelled to that country alongside Abu
Uwais, a most wanted terrorist. While in Libya, Isiaka had undergone terrorism
training and also acquired a cache of weapons in preparation for attacks in
Kogi and Kaduna States.
“He, however, became notorious and specialized
in gun-running, kidnapping, armed robbery and terrorist acts. Isiaka has made
useful statements to facilitate further investigations and actions against the
terrorist and kidnap networks on the Abuja-Okene and the Kaduna-Abuja axis,”
the statement added.
