Three suspected Kidnappers have been arrested, including a son who allegedly colluded with criminals to kidnap his biological father in Jera village of Fufore LGA of Adamawa state.
SP Suleiman Nguroje, Adamawa State Police Command’s spokesman in a statement on Tuesday, said the arrest followed intelligence-led operations carried out in collaboration with local security groups.
According to Nguroje, the suspects were arrested after a report was filed on the abduction of Alhaji Ahmadu in Malabu town on January 30, 2026.
The statement reads in part: “the operation led to the arrest of Lawali Haruna (45), Yahaya Ibrahim (25) and Da’u Alhaji Ahmadu (28), all residents of Jera village in Fufore LGA.
“More disturbing is the fact that one of the suspects is the biological son of the victim,” he said, adding that all three suspects confessed to their involvement in the crime”.
The PPRO said efforts were ongoing to rescue the abducted victim unharmed and apprehend other members of the kidnapping syndicate, while investigations continue.
