In a statement released on Sunday, Mansir Hassan, police spokesperson in Kaduna, said the suspects were arrested on Saturday.

The police spokesperson said the suspects — Dahiru Liman, 47, and Sani Abdullahi Makeri, 45 — are residents of Kaduna and Katsina respectively.

He said one fabricated AK-47 rifle and five rounds of 9mm live ammunition were recovered from the suspects.

Hassan said officers also arrested two suspects for attempted kidnapping and cattle rustling.

He said the suspects — Aminu Saleh, 25, and Jafar Ibrahim, 24 — rustled cattle from farmers in Kasuwan Magani, Kajuru LGA of Kaduna state.

“During interrogation, the suspects confessed to their involvement in the crime and revealed that they had been working with four other syndicate members who are currently at large,” the statement reads.

“In the same vein, on August 22, 2024, one Shafiu Abdullahi reported to Operation Fushin Kada that he had been receiving phone calls demanding N10 million, with the callers threatening to kidnap him if the ransom was not paid.

“The Tracking and Response Team immediately took action, using advanced techniques to locate and apprehend the suspects.

“The suspects arrested are Umar Baso, Shehu Filani, and Babangida Abdulkarim, all residents of Soba and Kajuru LGAs Kaduna state.”
