Five kidnap suspects arrested in Imo, victim rescued

The Imo State Police Command says it arrested five kidnap suspects terrorising the Obinze, Avu, and Ihiagwa areas of the state.

This is just as the police said it rescued a kidnap victim during an operation in August.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Wednesday, identified the suspects as Umaru Usman, Tukur Yau, Musbau Sabo, Abdul Ibrahim, and Jubrin.

He said, “In recent happenings, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, Imo State Command, have recorded several milestones of operational success in the fight against all forms of crime in the state, particularly kidnapping.

“Some of these achievements include the arrest of five suspects linked to kidnappings in Obinze, Avu, and Ihiagwa, and the rescue of the kidnapped victim.

“The suspects identified as Umaru Usman, 40, from Mauree in Sokoto; Tukur Yau, 25, from Dawakinkudur in Kano State; Musbau Sabo, 18, from Warsaw LGA in Kano State; Abdul Ibrahim, 30, from Sokoto State; and Jubrin Idris, 35, from Sokoto State, were arrested on August 21, 2024, in Avu, Imo State.”

Adejobi added that the police also arrested a suspected robber identified as Nwauba Alex with a locally-made pistol while attempting to rob some residents at gunpoint.

“Another groundbreaking achievement was the arrest of one Nwauba Alex, a 25-year-old male from Ezza LGA, Ebonyi State on August 21, 2024.

“The suspect was arrested while attempting to rob two residents at gunpoint near Aladinma Primary School, Owerri. Recovered from the suspect were one locally made pistol, two rounds of live ammunition, and torches,” he stated.
