The Sokoto State Police Command has arrested 18-year-old Abba Aliyu for allegedly abducting his neighbour's 2-year-old son in the Badon Hanya area of Sokoto. The arrest was made during a successful operation by the police's anti-kidnapping unit, according to a statement by command spokesman, ASP Ahmad Rufai.
The police received a report of the kidnapping and quickly launched an intelligence-led operation, which led to the arrest of Aliyu. The suspect had demanded a N2 million ransom from the child's parents, who paid N500,000 before the child was released. The police recovered a Tecno Android phone used by the suspect to make ransom demands.
Aliyu has confessed to the crime and will be arraigned in court once investigations are completed, Rufai added.
