Alleged Benue “Millionaire Kidnappers” Arrested

Three alleged Benue notorious kidnappers have been arrested. The kidnappers reportedly went to Ihotu Park to board a vehicle to Makurdi, where they met a girl they last kidnapped and released after payment of ransom. They were said to be carrying a bag they collected from the girl.

The girl was said to have raised an alarm, held one inside the vehicle, while two took to their heels, but were later caught, and they were said to be carrying a Ghana-must-go bag at the back of the vehicle.

Eleven million naira was reportedly discovered inside the bag, and it was revealed that mobs were about to set them ablaze when the manager of Ihotu Park called soldiers and both soldiers and police came to rescue them. The girl later followed them to the station.

It was gathered that the Governor of the state, Hyacinth Alia, called the police commissioner that he was interested in the case.

“They’ve been moved to Makurdi. The girl followed too. In fact, another lady came to the station and confirmed that they were the ones who kidnapped her too,” said a source.
