Men of the Nigeria Police have
arrested two wanted notorious kidnappers in Kogi State.
The police had launched a manhunt
on the duo of 24-year-old Suleiman Isah and Musa Mohammed, 31, both natives of
Ankpa LGA of Kogi State after they allegedly abducted one Alhaji Jibrin Idris,
an Islamic scholar and the chief Imam at Enabo in Ankpa district.
The gunmen later released the
cleric after collecting undisclosed amount of money as ransom.
Subsequently, IGP Ibrahim Idris
ordered a manhunt on the kidnappers by operatives of the Intelligence Response
Team, IRT, led by courageous ACP Abba Kyari.
The kidnappers, upon collecting
the ransom escaped to Enugu State on sensing that IRT was trailing them.
However, after months of
relentless efforts, the duo met their waterloo at Ayinba Town Kogi State and
9th Mile, Enugu State respectively.
A statement sent by the team
leader, Kyari said the suspects identified the remaining two other gang members
at large as Bashir and Mangal.
“Phone used for the ransom negotiation by the
kidnappers equally recovered, while efforts to arrest the remaining gang
members at large are in progress,” the police officer said.
