Police have arrested a 20-year old man, Abubakar Amodu for organising father’s kidnap, conspiring with members of a criminal gang and thereafter collected a ransom of N2 million from members of his family.

WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that Amodu was paraded alongside 24 other criminals at the police headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday January 20.

The suspect said he worked with his father on the farm rearing cattle and that after many years of learning the trade, his father settled him with 15 cows and he moved out of their family house.

Amosu said he got friendly with members of a gang, who told him that his father was rich, and should be kidnapped for money.
