The Operatives of the Nigeria Police in Kaduna have successfully thwarted the kidnap attempt of a professional footballer cum automobile businessman Mohammed Goni Jidda who was kidnapped in Kano.
The said incident which took place on the 23rd of July 2024 at a hotel in Kano had the victim been whisked away by his abductors who were five in number and headed towards Abuja before they were intercepted by the ever-vigilant Police Operatives attached to Sabin Gari Division, Zaria on routine patrol.
The suspicious sitting posture of the occupants of the vehicle in which the victim was being transported alerted the Police Operatives that something was fishy and they acted swiftly which resulted in the rescue of the victim unhurt and the subsequent arrest of one of the suspects Alfaki Abdullahi.
Confirming the arrest, the spokesperson of the command, ASP Masir Hassan, said preliminary inquiry indicates that the suspects arrived in Kano from Maiduguri in order to kidnap the victim, a resident of FCT Abuja, who came to Kano for a business endeavour.
‘’Equally, the suspects have since contacted the victim's close associates demanding for a huge sum as ransom before the Police struck. The rescued victim and the arrested suspect will soonest be handed over to the Kano state Police Command where the kidnapping occurred.
The Commissioner of Police Kaduna State Command CP A.D. Ali, psc lauded the Police Officers dogged vigilance and warned criminals to stay away from Kaduna State due to the Police Command's uncompromising security barriers.'' he said
