“The breakthrough that led to the arrest of the suspects began with the arrest of one Buba Ibrahim a.k.a Babangida, Male, 20 years, and a native of Wuro Bilal village, Ngurore District,” the statement said.

It said Babanguda “is one of the principal suspects in the kidnap operation,” and that the confession of the suspect revealed how they abducted Hawwa Umaru, her daughter, one Alhaji Bahago of Ibbare and their attack on Ngurore police station on the 8th and 9th October, 2021.

“The police were assisted by some professional hunters who apprehended three other members of the gang,” the Police explained.

The other three arrested suspects are identified as; Tumba Alhaji Dan Bappa, 25 years and a native of Ibbare district, Yola South LGA, Buba Alhaji Abdu, a resident of Ibbare, Ngurore District and Abdullahi Lawal, a resident of Lau local government area of Taraba State.

The police explained that the four now in police net are among a 7-man syndicate troubling the state.
