23 kidnap suspects nab for allegedly terrorising three Adamawa LGAs

The Adamawa state police command has arrested 23 men for allegedly kidnapping or threatening to kidnap people in three local government areas.

The new commissioner of police in the state Olugbenga Adeyanju paraded the suspects at the police command headquarters in Yola today.

He said the offences, which the suspects committed in three groups in the separate LGAs, took place between his resumption of duty, about a week ago, and now.

He said the suspects kidnapped two people: Ardo Kudla and Tela Bala of Gombi LGA last month and collected the total sum of N4.5 million from them.
