Son arrested after allegedly hiring hoodlums to kidnap father

Police in Adamawa State have arrested three suspects, including the biological son of a kidnapped man, over an alleged conspiracy to abduct the victim in Fufore Local Government Area.

The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested three suspects, including a man accused of conspiring with hoodlums to kidnap his own father in Fufore Local Government Area of the state. The Command’s spokesman, SP Suleiman Nguroje, disclosed the development in a statement issued on Tuesday, saying the arrests followed intelligence-led operations conducted in collaboration with local security groups.

Nguroje said the suspects were apprehended after a report was filed on the abduction of Alhaji Ahmadu in Malabu town on January 30, 2026. According to him, the operation led to the arrest of Lawali Haruna (45), Yahaya Ibrahim (25) and Da’u Alhaji Ahmadu (28), all residents of Jera village in Fufore LGA.

“More disturbing is the fact that one of the suspects is the biological son of the victim,” he said, adding that all three suspects confessed to their involvement in the crime. The police spokesman noted that efforts were ongoing to rescue the abducted victim unharmed and apprehend other members of the kidnapping syndicate, while investigations continue.
