The Zamfara State Police Command has arrested a 20-year-old boy for allegedly conniving with five others to abduct his mother and three others and collecting the sum of N30 million as ransom. Shehu, who spoke in Gusau, said the suspect, Thomas Yau, informed the police that N10 million was paid by each of the kidnap victims, including his mother, totalling N30 million ransom. He said: “On February 12, 2023, the Zamfara Police Command through its community policing engagement acted on intelligence information that led to the bursting of a kidnap syndicate and the arrest of six suspected kidnappers, who had been terrorising different villages in Kaduna, Kano and other neighbouring states such as Zamfara and Sokoto.
