Two 18 year-old teenagers in Kano are already singing like canary in police custody having been arrested for the kidnapping, drugging and killing of a five-year-old boy, Ahmed Ado, that they abducted from his school in the city.
Parading the suspects, the Kano State Police Commissioner Ahmed Ilyasu, said the police received a complaint that the boy was kidnapped and were able to arrest, after some investigations, a principal suspect, Ibrahim Ahmed, 28.
In addition, the police also nabbed one Musa Sanusi and another suspect both aged 18.
It was during the questioning that Ilyasu and the other suspects confessed to have kidnapped the boy and drugged him which led to the boy’s death.
Ado’s remains were buried in a shallow grave at an uncompleted building, the police said.
“The police have exhumed the body of the victim and the suspects will be taken to court. This is the highest form of inhumanity and the police will not relent in its fight against all forms of criminal activities,” disclosed the police chief.
The father of the victim, Malam Ado, told Daily Trust that the suspects kidnapped his son from the nursery and primary school he attended and they later called him demanding N50 million as ransom to free his kidnapped son.
“They demanded N50 million, then reduced it to N20 million. We were negotiating till when we arrived at N200,000, not knowing that my son had been killed,” he said
Nigeria has witnessed a surge of kidnapping for ransom and security agencies are overwhelmed with the avalanche of such dastard criminality that is leading to increased homicide cases recorded in police stations across the nation.
