How Police Aborted Kidnap Of Footballer

Operatives of the Nigeria Police in Kaduna on Wednesday successfully aborted the abduction of a footballer, Mohammed Goni Jidda who had earlier been kidnapped by a group of five men in Kano.

The footballer who is also a businessman was reportedly tracked to Kano by his attackers to a hotel in Kano from where he was whisked.

The victim was with his five abductors moving towards Abuja before they were intercepted by vigilant Police Operatives attached to Sabin Gari Division, Zaria who were 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 indicated that the suspects arrived in Kano from Maiduguri in order to kidnap the footballer, 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.
