One alleged abductor got more than he bargained for when he mistakenly boarded a commercial vehicle owned by one of his victims in Sokoto state.
As per Daily Trust, the victim, a driver, was abducted along Kankara in Katsina state while coming back from Kano about 2 months ago.
The said driver reportedly spent 21 days in captivity and was released after making an undisclosed payment of money as ransom.
Daily Trust quoted that a member of the National Union of Road Transport Worker (NURTW) as saying the suspect was, nonetheless, recognised by the victim when he boarded his vehicle on his way to Kano state.
“The driver was quick to identify him because the incident happened not too long ago,” the NURTW operative was quoted to have said.
“After identifying him, he alerted our leaders who in turned informed the nearest police outpost.”
The NURTW leaders reportedly questioned the driver to move towards Kwannawa motor park in Dange-Shuni local government area of the state, where the car was blocked by police.
The police officers were said to have apprehended the suspect and whisked him away to their station.
While the suspect is being interrogated, he reportedly confessed that he belongs to a gang of kidnappers.
He has since been transferred to the state police command headquarters for further investigation.
