Kano State Command of the Nigeria Police Force paraded some criminals at its headquarters during the week, including a 25-year-old woman, Rahama Sulaiman, who reportedly kidnapped her biological daughter.
The young
lady allegedly abducted her 6-year-old daughter, Hafsat Kabiru, and demanded N3
million ransom from her estranged husband.
Giving an
account of the young girl’s abduction, the Commissioner of Police in the state,
Muhammad Usaini Gumel, while parading the suspects at the command headquarters,
said the husband, Kabiru Shehu, approached the command earlier and reported
that his daughter had been kidnapped.
“In a
follow-up investigation, the victim was rescued in Madobi LGA, and the wife,
who was earlier divorced by the husband, confessed to having planned the
kidnapping of her daughter,” Gumel explained.
According to
him, the woman had taken the daughter to a nearby relative in Madobi to keep
for her and said she would travel for four days.
Speaking to
newsmen after she was paraded, the suspect confessed that her ex-husband did
not give her money to feed the children for over ten months, which prompted her
to fake the kidnap of their daughter to get money from him to take care of his
children.
“I called
him and told him that our daughter was missing and we went to the police
together and reported the matter. Inside the police station, I gave him the
number of the guy that will receive the ransom,” she reportedly said.
She said she
regretted her actions and said she had reconciled with her husband. The
husband, who confirmed that they had reconciled, added that his wife had never
done such before.
The command
also paraded other criminals, including kidnappers and drug dealers, and also
recovered over 600 parcels of Indian hemp.
The CP,
however, said all the suspects would be charged after the investigation.
