Four Kidnappers arrested for killing 12-year-old boy after collecting ransom in Plateau

 

Plateau State Police Command has arrested a gang of four kidnappers who conspired to kill a twelve-year-old boy after collecting a ransom of N150,000 from the family.

This is just as the command apprehended another three suspected kidnappers in a different operation in the state and recovered one AK-45 rifle from one of them and other assorted weapons.

Addressing newsmen on Monday, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Emmanuel Oluwagbemiga Adesina, stated that on the 16th of January, 2025, the Command received a report from one Abdullahi Abubakar that his 12-year-old son was missing.

According to him, on the same day, he was informed by his daughter that she received a WhatsApp message from a strange number, informing her that her brother was in their custody, and further demanded the sum of One Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N1,250,000.00k) as ransom for his release.

“After much negotiation, the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N150,000.00k) only was deposited into an account sent to them by the kidnappers as ransom for the release of the victim.

After collecting ransom from the victim’s family, the kidnappers sent another WhatsApp message to his sister through a different phone number, informing her that they had released her brother to their neighbor, one Haruna Adamu aka Baban Amir, who carried him in his green Honda vehicle.”
