the criminal act.

Wada criminally conspired With Aliu Tasiu
and Fauziyya Bala to kidnap Umar Aminu
Ibrahim of Tudun Wada town.

a brother to the grandmother of the
kidnapped child.
He blocked the view of the child’s
grandmother, while the child was being
taken away by Bello Wada, who handed
over their victim to Fauziyya Bala, who
conveyed their victim to Tarauni LG.”
Mr. Idris disclosed that their victim was
whisked away and hidden at a location in
Tarauni local government area in Kano
metropolis.
According to him, the trio put a call through
to the grandmother of their 4 year-old
victim demanding for N3 million as

kill their victim, if the grandmother fails to
pay the 3 million demanded.
“The case was reported at Tudun Wada

of those who accompanied the
grandmother to the station to report the
matter.
“The police promptly started investigation
and successfully arrested the suspects and
rescued the victim without any harm or
injury,” Idris said.
The trio, who were paraded at the Kano
Bompai state headquarters of the police
force, told newsmen that the allegations
slammed against them by the police were
true.
Aliyu Tasiu, 25 years-old, sibling of the
grandmother of the victim admitted that
they conspired and kidnapped their victim.
“Everything the police have said is true, I did
it because I knew for sure that the parents
and grandmother of the boy we kidnapped
can afford to pay us the N 3million we
requested, I am aware and sure the money
is available,” Tasiu stated.
The NATION gathered that, the matter has
been referred to SCID for detail investigation
