Adelani Adepegba, Abuja
A notorious kidnapper, Mohammed
Ahmadu, notorious for terrorising
commuters on the Abuja-Kaduna and
Abuja-Lokoja highways was
abducted by another kidnap gang
and had to pay N1.55 million for his
freedom.
Ahmadu was said to have visited the
gang’s hideout to sell ammunition
when he was kidnapped and shot in
the arm when he hesitated to pay the
ransom.
The kingpin was among 18 suspects
paraded by the Force Public
Relations Officer, Frank Mba, in
Abuja, on Monday.
The police said Abubakar Umaru aka
Buba Bargu, 35, was one of the gang
leaders that abducted Ahmadu.
Mba said Umaru, who was notorious
for always killing his victims, took
over the leadership of the crime
syndicate after the gang leader and
his deputy were neutralised by
security operatives.
Mba said Ahmadu had boasted he
had charms and could not be shot
and Umaru shot him to show how
serious he was.
The police spokesman said Umaru
had strong links with a major terror
group in the North.
He stated, “Ahmadu is also known as
‘Confirm’ because he was a reputed
marksman in the underworld. Yet, he
was kidnapped and released after he
paid N1.55m.”
Ahmadu, who said he had been
involved in more kidnap operations
than he can remember, revealed that
he was abducted after supplying 90
rounds of live ammunition to Umaru.
He said Umaru was associated with
the Boko Haram sect, recalling that
there was a time his own gang
kidnapped 20 victims at a time.
He stated, “I have saved up to N15m
from these nefarious activities. I
witnessed an operation where Buba
(Umaru) kidnapped 55 persons from
a luxurious bus at a time.”
Umaru said he had been involved in
kidnapping for the past three years,
adding that he operated on the
highways only.
“I broke up with Buji to form my own
kidnap gang because of unfairness in
sharing ransom money,” he stated.
