He said after a resident alerted the police about gunshots suspected to be by kidnappers, Mokwa Division’s men and vigilantes were drafted to the area to comb a nearby forest which led to the arrest of a suspect, Mohammed Bello, from a neighbouring village, Bate-Ukpo, adding that a locally made gun was recovered from him.
He further said, “It was during interrogation that the suspect confessed that he conspired with Dogo Yellow and Dogo Mai-Saje, both presently at large, to kidnap a person in the village.”
