Experienced 6-man kidnap gang abduct kid for N50,000 ransom in last operation
A six-man kidnap gang terrorizing Agudama-Epie, Yenegoa, Byelsa, abducted a kid, and hit the end of their criminal regime October 8.
Three of them who carried out the last act bungled it and were caught.
Miracle a.k.a Mimi, Wari-Owei and Emi Nokuba abducted the boy Friday afternoon, and collected N50,000 ransom from the victim’s family before releasing him.
Nokuba, the mastermind, is a two-time loser, jailed last year for stealing diesel.
Miracle and Wari-Owei arrested on Friday night while Nokuba was apprehended at his house by community youths in the early hours of Saturday.
They had all been beaten blue-black before operatives of the JTF came to arrest them
