The State Security Service (SSS) says it has arrested 10
suspects for alleged kidnapping in Kogi state. These suspects
are reported to have been terrorising the state as well as
attacking people travelling on the Abuja-Lokoja highway. Punch
reports that they were paraded in full military uniforms by the
Director of the Kogi state command of the security organisation,
Mr Joseph Okpo, in Lokoja.
According to Okpo, six of the suspects were taken to court on
Tuesday, July 26 while adding that the command had arrested
four members of the gang whose names he gave as Haruna
Saleh, Kabiru Shuaibu, Mumuni Adamu and Tukur Shuaibu.
The suspects, according to the SSS director, confessed to
different crimes and are giving useful information about how
they got the uniforms. The security chief said investigation had
shown that most of the kidnappers operating in the state are
not residents.
They only take advantage of the geographical location and the
route structure of the state. He said his command would
continue to cooperate with other security organisations to rid the
state of criminals.
On Saturday, July 23, 2016, the Department of State Services
( DSS) also announced the arrested one Jones Abari, aka
General Akotebe Darikoro, for playing a major role in the alleged
fake plan to overthrow President Muhammad Buhari by the
military.
