Police Arrest Suspected Killer of Abuja Lady Nabeeha, Destroy Kidnappers’ Kaduna Camp 

Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force on January 20 arrested Bello Mohammed, 28 in Kaduna in connection with abductions in Kaduna and neighboring states.

According to a press release by Force PRO Olumiyiwa Adejobi on Sunday,  the Police in Kaduna, acting on intelligence reports, raided a hotel in Tafa Area, Kaduna, and arrested Bello, with the sum of N2.25m, suspected to be proceeds of ransoms collected from kidnapped victims within the area. 

“The suspect, during interrogation, confessed to be part of the gang that kidnapped the family members of one Barrister Ariyo in Bwari, FCT, on 2nd January 2024, and killed some kidnapped victims, including Nabeeha, daughter of the legal practitioner, on 13th January, 2024, in a kidnappers’ camp, in Kaduna State,” the statement read. 

According to Adejobi, the suspect, in a dramatic situation, offered one million naira to induce the DPO Tafa Division, SP Idris Ibrahim, who rejected the offer.

“The Inspector-General of Police has ordered that the suspect, who also confessed to the involvement of the already five neutralized bandits in Kaduna by the IRT, headed by one Mai Gemu (aka Godara), whose deadly camp has also been destroyed, be handed over to the DFI-IRT in Abuja for discreet investigations into the matter and arrest of all other culprits responsible for the dastardly act.”

Adejobi said the suspect is currently helping the police in their investigations.

While commending SP Ibrahim for the commitment and professionalism displayed in the case, Egbetokun further assured that the Police would leave no stone unturned in decimating criminally minded individuals across the country.
