The Nigerian Army on Friday said it had arrested a kidnap kingpin, Filani Auta, at Ligari village of Kaduna State.
The Army Spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Texas Chukwu, said in a statement that the kingpin was arrested along with his two sons during a raid by troops following a tip-off.
According to Chukwu, items recovered from the suspect are two Dane guns and four mobile phones.
“The suspects will soon be handed over to the police for prosecution,” he said.
