Thursday, July 25, 2024-The Operatives of the Nigeria Police in Kaduna have successfully thwarted the kidnap attempt of a professional footballer cum automobile businessman Mohammed Goni Jidda who was kidnapped in Kano.
The said incident which took place on the
23rd of July 2024 at a hotel in Kano had the victim been whisked away by his
abductors who were five in number and headed towards Abuja before they were
intercepted by the ever-vigilant Police Operatives attached to Sabin Gari
Division, Zaria on routine patrol.
The suspicious sitting posture of the
occupants of the vehicle in which the victim was being transported alerted the
Police Operatives that something was fishy and they acted swiftly which
resulted in the rescue of the victim unhurt and the subsequent arrest of one of
the suspects Alfaki Abdullahi.
Confirming the arrest, the
spokesperson of the command, ASP Masir Hassan, said preliminary inquiry
indicates that the suspects arrived in Kano from Maiduguri in order to kidnap
the victim, a resident of FCT Abuja, who came to Kano for a business endeavour.
‘’Equally, the suspects have since
contacted the victim's close associates demanding for a huge sum as ransom
before the Police struck. The rescued victim and the arrested suspect will
soonest be handed over to the Kano state Police Command where the kidnapping
occurred.
The
Commissioner of Police Kaduna State Command CP A.D. Ali, psc lauded the Police
Officers dogged vigilance and warned criminals to stay away from Kaduna State
due to the Police Command's uncompromising security barriers.'' he said
