Spokesperson of the command, SP Wasiu Abiodun, who disclosed this in a statement on Monday, June 16, 2025 said the suspects confessed to the crime that they arranged to abduct the victim in order to request for ransom.

According to the PPRO, a locally made pistol, two knives, a walkie-talkie, cartridges, handsets, one ATM card, two electric tasers, a pepper spray and some charms were recovered from the suspects.

“On 13th June, 2025 at about 8pm, based on a distress call received, Police operatives attached to Tafa Div arrested two suspects, namely; Japhta James 28yrs of Ijah-Gwari, Tafa and Usman Ibrahim 30yrs of Sabon-Gari, Bwari area of FCT,” the statement read.

“The two suspects were reported to have entered the premises of a victim in Kata via New-Bwari and attempted to kidnap his sister. The Police operatives of Tafa Div were immediately contacted and rushed to the scene which led to the arrest.

“They were arrested with a locally made pistol, two knives, a walkie-talkie, two cartridges, four handsets, one ATM card, two electric tasers, a pepper spray and some charms.
