Criminal ring specialising in kidnapping Markurdi women busted

The Benue police command have arrested kidnappers who specialise in abducting women in Makurdi town and environs.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Lt. Col. Paul Hemba (rtd.) said the two suspects  ran out of luck during their last operation which was foiled by the police.

State Commissioner of Police, Wale Abass, who paraded the suspects, disclosed that they were picked up from their hideout along Gboko road in Makurdi on August 9.

The suspects—Solomon, 25 and .Achoho, 30— fled the scene during their last unsuccessful operation, and dropped a phone which gave the police a lead to effect their arrest.

The kidnap kingpin and one other are currently on the run.
