6 Kidnap Kingpins Arrested In Abuja

Six kidnap kingpins responsible for kidnappings in Gwagwalada
and Kwali Council Areas of Abuja, the Nigeria capital, have been
arrested.

Security agencies consider the arrest a major breakthrough in
the fight against insecurity in the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT).

The Police Command, according to PRNigeria, arrested the
suspects at different locations after intelligence gathering.

A senior operative involved in the operation disclosed that the
dens where the suspects keep their captors until ransoms were paid
were also discovered

“After undertaking surveillance and intelligence gathering, the
special anti-kidnapping squad of the police command successfully
arrested six suspects”, the officer said.

He confirmed they were the masterminds of major abduction at
Tungan Maji in Gwagwalada and Kwaita in Kwalli axis.

The command is still trailing other suspects. Abuja, a city
under the control of the federal government, has witnessed several
abductions in recent months.
