The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested Abu Usman Soja, an informant linked to a recent kidnapping incident in Ajase-Ipo, Irepodun Local Government Area.
The suspected kidnappers abducted a woman and her two children on November 7, 2024, but later released the mother, leaving her two children in captivity.
According to reports, Soja assisted the kidnappers by providing information to facilitate the abduction and was also responsible for contacting the family of the victims using his phone.
The arrest was confirmed by the NSCDC State Commandant, Dr. Umar Muhammed, who stated that Soja’s accomplices, who are still at large, were the ones who physically carried out the kidnapping.
