BEVERLY HILLS, January 21, (THEWILL) – Police have arrested suspected kidnappers terrorising Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
One of the suspects, a security staff of the institution, Aliyu Abubakar, was also arrested by the Special Tactical Squad of Inspector-General of Police for ‘providing’ assistance to kidnappers who have on various occasions terrorised the institution.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba, said, Malam Jafaru, who ‘provides’ spiritual guidance to the kidnappers, was also arrested.
The arrest comes in the wake of a spate of kidnappings that have hit the university campus and its environs, with staff and students taken for ransom.
In November, gunmen forcefully abducted a staff of Ahmadu Bello University and released his wife and daughter in a gunfight with police.
Also, in December, nine students of the school’s French Department were abducted while on a trip to Lagos for an academic programme.
