KANO — The 25-year-old who is part of an 11-man kidnap gang that uses motor parks to perpetuate their nefarious activities like kidnapping has been apprehended by the Police in Kano.
The gang, comprising nine men and two women, operates from two motor parks in Kano.
A driver in the habit of tricking passengers into kidnappers revealed their strategies when they were paraded by the police in Abuja.
Speaking on their behalf, a gang member, Bashiru Sule, explained, “I am a member of the kidnap gang. My master taught me how to kidnap well. We operate in Kano and take our victims into the bush where our boss is waiting.”
“I board the vehicle as a passenger and sometimes, I drive my vehicle. I load passengers in the park and I provide information to my kidnap gang on the quality of people in the car.”
“In our last job, we kidnapped three victims and took them to the bush. Our gangs are stationed along the highways in Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, and Kaduna.
“During our first operation, they gave me N70, 000 share. I got N40, 000 in my second operation and N30, 000 in my last deal.”
The operatives also apprehended members of another gang terrorizing residents of Gwagwalada, Kachia, and its environs.
A member of the gang terrorising the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Musa Ibrahim, 27, said his gang, which operated with two AK47 rifles, had carried out kidnapping twice in Gwagwalada and also in Kachia.
Hafsat Adamu, who kept the guns, said the weapons were usually concealed in a box, which she delivered to one Babangida, her boyfriend.
Parading the suspects, Force spokesman, Frank Mba, said two AK-47 rifles, two pump action rifles and many other dangerous weapons were recovered from them.
