Judging from the name of those arrested, it is now evident that this kidnapping business is a marriage of Northern and Southern criminals.

There should be a law that will allow public execution of criminals within 7 days televised live on TV.

There's no ethnic group called northern and southern Nigeria. You saw their names boldly written in the article.

The kidnappers are heartless, regardless of their names what they deserve is the firing squad.

There was a heated gunfire exchange, on Thursday, as the police rescued Segun Akinyemi, an Abuja resident, who was kidnapped just as he was driving out of his house.

The kidnappers were taking Akinyemi from Abuja to Kano State when the police swooped on them, according to Police Public Relations Officer in Kaduna, ASP Mansir Hassan.

He said on January 18, 2024, operatives attached to Kawo Divisional Headquarters, Kaduna, received a distress call of a kidnapping incident from Abuja.

He said they were alerted that the culprits and their victim were transiting through Kaduna.

“The Operatives, at about 0010 hours, blocked a grey Toyota Hilux van with registration number Abuja RBC 90 DC, carrying four passengers, the driver inclusive, suspected to be the vehicle conveying the kidnappers and their victim.”

“On sensing danger and in an effort to escape, one of the kidnappers fired at the Policemen, and they responded accordingly. In the resulting gun duel, the victim, a certain Segun Akinyemi of block 10, flat 2 FCDA quarters Area 3 Garki, Abuja, was rescued, and one of the kidnappers, a 28-year-old Chinaza Philip of Life Camp Abuja, was arrested,” he said.

The police said the three other suspects who escaped are being trailed, adding that the vehicle belonging to the victim, two Retay G17 model pistols, one Beretta pistol, ten 9mm P.A.K ammunitions, and five 9mm special ammunitions were recovered from the kidnappers.

He said preliminary inquiries revealed that the victim was abducted on January 17, 2024, by the kidnappers just when he was leaving his home situated at the aforementioned address.

He said the three escaped suspects were; Chidibere Nwodibo of Life Camp, Abuja, one Auwal surname unknown, and the gang leader whose identity is yet to be ascertained.

The kidnappers were transporting their victim to Kano before they were intercepted by the Police.

The Commissioner of Police Kaduna State Command, CP A.D Ali, while commending the Operatives for the brave feat, still tasked them to continuously go after criminal elements in the State.

He called on the members of the public to avail themselves of security agencies’ hotlines for any distress call requiring a prompt response.

They gave the full names of the Igbos but not the others. I’m suspicious.

TimeManager:

Why should igbo be there in the first place considering they are the biggest critics of the government particularly since the rising spate of insecurity in recent weeks and extensively in the FCT?. Remember, this news was reported by dailytrust and the narratives that'd be built around it can only be imagined.

-kiss the truth!

BloomingDale:


Yeah, that’s why I said something stinks with that report. They want to redirect the people’s anger and gullible Nigerians will fall for it as they continue to be kidnapped by the real kidnappers.

MadamExcellency:
Bet it with your last kobo, there is no Igbo or any other ethnicity among this particular kidnap in Abuja. I suspect the names are made up to stifle the aggression against Fulani militia banditry. To maintain national cohesion certain lies are told.

Two Southeasterners are fully named while the other names including the leader of the gang are not identified.

Again they will rope in Igbos, go and see pictures of bandits and you will realise who they really are
