The IGP Intelligence Response Unit (IRT) and other operatives attached to Operation Puff Adder have apprehended one Mallam Salisu Abubakar, 48yrs old, a native of Dutsinma LGA, Katsina State.
Mallam Salisu is a self-confessed spiritual father of kidnappers terrorizing Abuja-Kaduna expressway and parts of other North-West/North-Central States of the Country. He was arrested on 16th April, 2019, following intelligence and subsequent manhunt, in his hideout, in a forest, at Galadimawa Village, Kaduna State.
According to the police, investigation clearly implicated the suspect for aiding and abetting the commission of several high-profile armed robbery and kidnapping operations in the North West and North Central States of the Country. The suspect is said to be notorious for providing spiritual guidance and intelligence for kidnappers, before and after their operations. His arrest, no doubt, will assist Police operatives to apprehend several other kidnappers and vicious criminals still at large.
