Man Kidnaps Neighbour’s Daughter, Buries Body In Kitchen Despite Ransom

The operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have arrested a man identified as Kabiru Abdullahi, who kidnapped and killed a five-year-old girl in Bauchi State.

NSCDC spokesperson, Garkuwa Adamu, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

He explained that Abdullahi, 52, was arrested alongside 45-year-old Alhaji Yawale following a report received by the command on April 23 on the abduction of Khadija – the daughter of the former’s neighbour – Abdullahi Yusuf – at Sabon Gari Narabi in Toro Local Government Area of the state.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that the prime suspect Kabiru Abdullahi kidnapped Khadija in front of her house, took her to a nearby bridge, strangled her and put her in a sack,” Adamu narrated.

“He contacted the father of the victim Abdullahi Yusuf and demanded a ransom. After a series of negotiations, it was agreed that the sum of N150,000 is paid for her release.”
