Providing insights into the arrest, Ibrahim Idris Abdullahi, the NSCDC Spokesperson in the state, disclosed that the apprehension occurred at Yar’Adua Quarters, Rimin Kebe, in Ungoggo Local Government Area of the state. Officers from the Ungoggo Division executed the arrest.

Abdullahi explained, “The 85-year-old suspect, Ibrahim Usman, abducted the victim, a 3-year-old boy who is a child in the neighborhood and attempted to hide him in his friend’s residence situated at Hotoro Bypass in Kano State.”

Upon suspicion of foul play, the friend declined to harbor the child and alerted residents in the area where the suspect resided. This led to the suspect attempting to flee, but he was subsequently apprehended by NSCDC personnel from the Ungoggo division.

Abdullahi highlighted that the octogenarian had obtained the victim’s father’s phone number two months prior to the incident but never contacted him. An investigation into the case has been initiated by the NSCDC, and upon completion, the suspect will face charges in court.
