The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has apprehended four individuals involved in criminal activities within the territory. A statement released on Thursday by the command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, revealed that these suspects are linked to numerous kidnappings and killings in the nation’s capital.
According to the statement, the suspects have allegedly confessed to plotting attacks on several government institutions and residential estates in the FCT. Josephine Adeh identified the arrested individuals as Yau Sani, also known as Baba (an ex-convict), Nuhu, known as Giwa, Kabiru Mohammed, and Yusuf Hassan.
The suspects were caught at their hideout in Sauka, Abuja, where they were reportedly living among the local population. During the investigation, they admitted to being involved in the murders of seven kidnap victims in the area. “These gangs have targeted locations such as Dakwa, Dawaki, Aco Estate, Dupe Village, Zuma Rock, and Kuchiko village, as well as villages in Niger and Kaduna,” Adeh stated.
