Joblessman Kidnaps Little Nephew… Demands N4m Ransom

A 23-years-old man, Kamal Bala Yunusa, has been arrested by the Katsina State Police Command in connection with the alleged kidnap of his three-year-old nephew.The victim’s mother and Kamal are reportedly of the same parents.

According to police, the child was rescued from a hotel in Katsina, where he had been drugged with “a cough mixture,” before the police revived him in a hospital at about 3am on Friday.

The state Police PRO, Salisu Agaisa, told journalists during a parade of Kamal and another suspect, Muhammed Abubakar Sadiq, on Friday evening that both suspects, along with two others, Abubakar Idris and Dabo Muhammed, said to be in Kaduna, “conspired to kidnap the child for a ransom of N4m from Tundun Wada area in Kaduna.”

The suspects were also accused of stealing the Peugeot 407 with which they allegedly ferried the victim from Kaduna.

Kamal said his intention was to sell the car for N700,000, but that he only brought the toddler and the other suspects to Katsina to divert attention from his main intention.

They are all under investigation, while police are making efforts to return the child to the parents.
