    THE police command in Kano state on Monday paraded suspects involved in the kidnapping and killing of Atiku Mu’azu, a retired Permanent Secretary and former Chairman of the Gombe State Board of Internal Revenue Service, who had been living in Kano since his retirement.

    Among those paraded was 33-year-old Abubakar Hassan, a.k.a, Captain, of Ringim local government area of Jigawa state, who is the principal suspect that masterminded the kidnapping and killing of the victim.

    Also paraded was 29-year-old Adamu Abubakar Adam, of Sharada Quarters, Kano, who reportedly received the ransom of N2 million.

    The 34-year-old Alhaji Hamisu, a.k.a Bakin Bross, of Ringim local government area of Jigawa state, whose house was used in holding the victim hostage for three days, was also paraded on Monday.

    Police Commissioner, Salman Dogo Garba, who briefed reporters at the command headquarters, said on January 10, a report was received from a resident of Janbulo Quarters, Kano that on January 8, one Atiku Mu’azu, 64, was kidnapped and a ransom of N20 million was demanded for his release.

    “On receipt of the report, I raised a team from the command’s anti-kidnapping unit to rescue the victim and arrest the culprit(s).

    “Sustained follow-up coupled with intelligence-led operation resulted in the arrest of the principal suspect, Abubakar Hassan.

    “During the course of the investigation, he confessed to have singlehandedly kidnapped and lured the victim to Ringim, Jigawa state under the pretense of taking him to Kazaure in Jigawa to collect his car from a mechanic.

    “Instead, he conspired with four others including the mechanic of the victim, held him hostage and later killed him after collecting a ransom of N2 million.

    “A toy gun with six rubber bullets was recovered from the principal suspect,” Garba said.

    Garba said the suspects were undergoing discreet investigation at the Command’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Anti-Kidnapping Unit and will be charged to court upon completion of the investigation.
