The police in Kano state have paraded a 27-year-old man, Abubakar Musa, who allegedly abducted his uncle for a one million naira ransom.
The police spokesperson in Kano, Abdullahi Kiyawa, sent a video showing the suspect being paraded to journalists on Sunday.
He said the suspect was arrested with two AK 47 riffles he allegedly used for his criminal operations.
Kiyawa said preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect was one of the bandits operating in Kano, Birnin Gwari in Kaduna state and other northern states.
Musa, an indigine of Rurum village in Tudun Wada local government area of Kano, narrated in the video how he abducted his uncle and collected the ransom before releasing him.
The suspect said he borrowed the guns found in his possession from Muhammadu Bakanoma in Zamfara state to confront another bandit he called Malam at Birnin Gwari, whom he accused of abducting his wife and daughter.
