The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Police Command on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, said the six arrested suspected kidnappers on Saturday along with Apo, will be arrested in court after investigation.
The police said they were arrested while acting on credible intelligence.
Yusuf Mariam, the Police public relations officer, who confirmed the development told our correspondent that: “all suspects will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of the investigation”.
The suspects are Frank Ozor 26years, Nweke Uche 19years, Chester Uzor 25years, Chukwu Bethrand 27 years, Chukwu Samuel 25 years and Kelechi Ngene 26 years all male.
According to the statement issued last Saturday, by Mariam, the suspects who had earlier abducted three persons were arrested by policemen on routine patrol, as they tried to relocate one of their victims.
She said further investigation led to the successful rescue of two other victims who identified the suspects.
“Consequently, the Command has deployed covert and overt crime-fighting strategies to strengthen security across the Federal Capital Territory especially areas with cumbersome terrain. In addition, the Command has launched a strategic counter-kidnapping operation to checkmate the emerging security concerns.
“Furthermore, the Command is working closely with sister security agencies, key stakeholders and community leaders to rid the FCT of criminal elements.
“While urging residents to remain calm and law-abiding, the Command enjoins FCT residents to report any suspicious persons or activities around their vicinity at the nearest Police Division or report the same through any of the FCT Police Command Control numbers,” the statement added.
