The Kano State Police Command has arrested two men for the kidnap, drugging and killing of a five-year-old boy, identified as Ahmed Ado, who was abducted from his school in Kano State.
Parading the suspects, the Police Commissioner, Ahmed Ilyasu, said the police received a complaint that the boy had been kidnapped and after some investigations, a principal suspect, Ibrahim Ahmed, 28, was arrested.
In addition, the police also nabbed one Musa Sanusi and another suspect both aged 18.
Ilyasu stated that after interrogation, the suspects confessed to have kidnapped the boy and drugged him which resulted in his death.
Africa Update gathered that Ado’s remains were subsequently buried in a shallow grave at an uncompleted building.
“The police have exhumed the body of the victim and the suspects will be taken to court. This is a highest form of inhumanity and the police will not relent in its fight against all forms of criminal activities,” Ilyasu disclosed.
The distraught father of the victim, Malam Ado, told newsmen that the suspects kidnapped his son from the nursery and primary school he attended and they later called him demanding N50 million as the 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.
