Kidnapper Pays N1.5M Ransom To Regain Freedom After Abduction By Another Kidnapper

A kidnapper knew as Mohammed Amodu, famous for his nefarious
activities in Abuja environs, was kidnapped by another kidnapper,
Buba Babu, 35, and had to pay N1, 555, 000 for his freedom.

Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba, who paraded both
kidnappers alongside other criminals in Abuja on Monday, said Babu
was notorious for kidnapping citizens on highways around Abuja.

Babu, he said, was third in command of a kidnap syndicated
headed by one Buji, who was neutralized by the police alongside the
second in command.

Mba said Babu took leadership of the gang and was notorious for
always killing kidnap victims.

Babu took Amodu into custody and when the kidnapped kidnapper
hesitated to pay, he was shot in the arm.

Mba said Mohammed had boasted he had charms and could not be
shot and Babu shot him to show how serious he was.

The police spokesman said Babu had a strong links between with a
major terror group in northern Nigeria.

Amodu, Mba said, was known as “Confirm” because he was a reputed
marksman in the underworld.

“Yet he was kidnapped and held and Mohammed was released after
he paid N1.55 million,” Mba said.

Amodu, who said he has been involved in more kidnap operations
than he can remember, revealed he was kidnapped after supplying 90
rounds of live ammunition to Babu.

Amodu said Buba was associated with Boko Haram, and he regained
his freedom after paying the ransom.

Amodu said there was a time his own gang kidnapped 20 victims at
a time.

He said he had saved up to N15 million from his nefarious
activities.

He said he witnessed an operation where Buba kidnapped 55
petsons from a luxurious bus at a time.

Also speaking, Buba said he had been into kidnapping for three
years.

He said as a kingpin he sends boys for major operations along
major roads as he never operated within town.

He said he broke off from Buji to form his own kidnap gang
because of unfairness in sharing ransom money.
