A 23-years-old man, Kamal Bala Yunusa,
has been arrested by the Katsina State
Police Command in connection with alleged
kidnap of his three-year-old nephew.
The victim’s mother and Kamal are
reportedly of the same parents.
According to the command, the child was
rescued from a hotel in Katsina, where he
had been drugged with “a cough mixture,”
before the police revived him in a hospital
at about 3 am on Friday. The Police Public Relations Officer in the
state, Salisu Agaisa, told journalists during
a parade of Kamal and another suspect,
Muhammed Abubakar Sadiq, on Friday
evening, that both suspects, along with two
other suspects, Abubakar Idris and Dabo
Muhammed, said to be in Kaduna,
“conspired to kidnap the child for a ransom
of N4m from Tundun Wada area in
Kaduna.”
The suspects were also accused of stealing
the Peugeot 407 with which they allegedly
ferried the victim from Kaduna.
Kamal said his intention was to sell the car
for N700,000, but that he only brought the
toddler and the other suspects to Katsina
to divert attention from his main intention.
According to the command, efforts were
being made by the police to return the boy
to Kaduna.
