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.

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.
