The Kano State Police Command has rescued a two-year-old boy abducted in the state, arrested three suspects, and recovered ₦930,000 from the ransom paid by the victim’s family.
The command disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday, and signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Kiyawa, detailing how the child was kidnapped and later rescued through an intelligence-led operation.
According to Kiyawa, the incident occurred on April 19, when a resident of Gwammaja Quarters in Dala Local Government Area reported that his son, Aliyu Muhammad, aged two, was abducted in front of their residence.
“The suspects subsequently established contact and demanded a ransom of One Million Naira (₦1,000,000.00), which was paid by the victim’s family. Despite receiving the ransom, they failed to release the child,” the statement read.
