Ibrahim Umar, leader of a gang of
suspected kidnappers, has reportedly confessed drinking blood of victims who
cannot afford ransom.
Umar is among 16 suspected
kidnappers who were arrested in Niger state.
They were accused of
“terrorising” people along the Abuja-Kaduna road in Sabon Wuse in Tafa local

coordinated operations by the special tactical squad operating in the area.
The spokesman said that the gang
leader confessed to killing at least 10 persons.
Moshood, who said that the
suspects were arrested during the Yuletide, said it was a huge success for the
police and Nigerians.
