Kaduna state Police command said it has arrested the kidnappers alleged to be responsible for the abduction of three pastors and an Army Colonel who was found dead. Among the 15 kidnappers were those suspected to be terrorizing commuters on the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway.
The Police said they have rescued two kidnap victims, one Engr Mansur Musa and Elijah Afolabi from the deadly kidnappers.
The Police Commissioner, Umar Shehu, while parading the suspects, said the gang included those who kidnapped Engr. Mansur Ahmed along Abuja/ Kaduna express way. He said some of the suspects were found in possession of foreign currencies and valuables suspected to have been snatched from their victims.
Some of the suspects confessed to be members of kidnapping gangs operating along Kaduna-Abuja expressway.
One of them told newsmen he was among members of the gang that kidnapped a Pastor in Jere, Kaduna state.
The Commissioner said the police were still investigating the involvement of the suspects in the alleged kidnapping of late Colonel Ismail Inusa, who killed last week along the same road.
"In two to three days all necessary information as regards to the suspects will be revealed as investigation is ongoing," he said.
