Security personnel in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State have apprehended two suspected kidnappers following intelligence provided by local hunters.
The suspects—23-year-old Sani Liman from Unguwan Fa Raminkura and 25-year-old Murtala Magaji, also known as “Seto,” from Dambata Galadimawa village in Kauru LGA—were arrested on Monday, April 15, 2025, at about 1:30 PM by police operatives from Saminaka Division.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the duo may be linked to a series of recent kidnapping incidents in the area, raising concerns about growing insecurity in parts of Southern Kaduna.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama confirmed the arrests, adding that the suspects are currently in police custody and will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further interrogation and prosecution.
Authorities say efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend other members of the criminal network believed to be operating in the region.
