Arrested ASP, rescued kids handed over to police in Sokoto

The FCT Police Command has handed over five kidnapped children and two suspects to the Sokoto State Police Command.

Recall that City & Crime reported how the children, between the ages of two and three, with the exception of a baby of about two weeks old, were brought to Abuja from Sokoto by a female police officer, in collaboration with another woman, in what appeared to be a case of abduction.

It was gathered that one of the women went to a Sokoto motor park, paid for three seats, while the other joined the 18-seater commercial bus alongside the five kids.

City & Crime learnt that the prime suspect, Kulu Dogonyaro, an indigene of Zuru LGA of Kebbi State, serves at the Juvenile Women and Children’s Unit in the Kubwa Police Division, and lives with the second suspect, Elizabeth Oja, in the Mopol Barracks, Dei-Dei, Abuja.
