The Osun State Police Command says it foiled a kidnap attempt and arrested three suspected Kidnappers.
The bubble burst for the kidnappers when the policemen voided their attempt to abduct one Alhaji Idris Aliu who is also a Fulani man.
The suspects numbering more than 30 had engaged the police personnel in a fierce gun battle which resulted in a policeman being shot and wounded.
Two of the suspects, Galadima and Abdullahi confessed to the crime, while the third suspect, Hussaini who is a Seriki Fulani in Afijio Local Government Area of Oyo state denied his involvement.
The Commissioner of Police, Patrick Kehinde Longe confirmed their arrest to newsmen on Sunday.
According to him, “The suspected kidnappers, Barri Galadima, Muhammadu Abdullahi and Hussain Abdullah were arrested by the Command’s anti-kidnapping squad in their hideout at a remote village in Oyo State.”
The Osun Police boss, Patrick Kehinde Longe has assured that the suspects would face the full wrath of the law and that their fleeing colleagues would be apprehended and prosecuted.
