Troops from the 6 Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Jalingo, Taraba State, have arrested a suspect who confessed to kidnapping 20 individuals and extorting a total of N70 million in ransom.

The suspect, identified as Suleiman Ahmed, a resident of Bomanda village in Lau Local Government Area, was apprehended on November 12, 2024, during an anti-kidnapping operation.

According to Captain Oni Olubodunde, the Acting Assistant Director of Public Relations for the brigade, the operation targeted Maraban Abbare, Bomanda, and Karamuke villages, leading to the arrest.

“The operation was targeted at curbing kidnapping activities in Lau LGA. During initial investigations, Suleiman Ahmed confessed to abducting 20 people and collecting over N70 million in ransom,” Captain Oni said.

He said the suspect also admitted to using an AK-47 rifle in his criminal operations.

“A follow-up operation on November 15 led to the recovery of the weapon from a concealed location and the arrest of one of Ahmed’s accomplices, identified as Hussaini.

“The troops also apprehended a suspected gunrunner at his residence in Mayo Dassa, Lau LGA,” he said.

Captain Oni emphasised that the 6 Brigade remains resolute in its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of residents in Taraba State, continuing to intensify efforts to dismantle criminal networks in the state.
