Three suspected kidnappers have been nabbed following a joint raid of their hideout in forests located in Nasko Local Government Area of Niger State.

Monday Kuryas, police commissioner in Niger disclosed this to reporters in Minna on Sunday.

He said the police squad in the Nasko Division and members of the local vigilante group, numbering about 97, ransacked the Manini, Isana and Etere forest hideouts of the suspects on October 2.

“Three suspects were arrested after the raid, including one Abubakar, Aliyu Abubakar  and Mohamed Aliyu,” Mr Kuryas offered. “The suspects confessed to have kidnapped one Alhaji Mohammed Bariki of Magaman Daji village, Nasko LGA where they collected N5 million ransom and one Usman Maiyana of Ibana village Nasko LGA where they collected N 3 million as ransom.”

“The sum of N 100,000 was recovered from them which was part of the ransom,” he added.

Mr Kuryas said that the command has deployed an anti kidnap squad to the area to ensure the  arrest of others at large and recover their arms.

“We appeal strongly for more working support and cooperation from members of the public who should give us intelligence  information that could aid in apprehending miscreants in their midst.

“We are battle ready to confront any persons or group of miscreants undermining the peace of our state, through well- coordinated security approach to enhance peaceful coexistence among our people,’’ Mr Kuryas said.
