Security Operatives have arrested a suspect responsible for the abduction from several students of Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, in Kaduna State.
Confirming the development, the State’s Police PRO, Mohammed Jalige, said more suspects would have been arrested in connection with the kidnap of the Afaka students, if not for an audio that went viral on social media.
The Police PRO revealed the audio message signaled the other members of the kidnapping syndicate, prompting them to flee before the arrival of the police.
According to him, “One of the suspects involved in the kidnap of the 37 students is undergoing investigation in the Command. Once done with the investigation, the suspect will be paraded and charged to court accordingly.
“The suspect we arrested was not the only suspect we had wanted to arrest; he mentioned some names, but because of the social media audio that went viral, they have all ran away.
“So, far, I am only confirming to you that we have arrested the suspect and investigations are ongoing. As soon as we are done with the investigation, we will let journalists know. We will issue a statement to that effect, or we may parade him. Yes, a suspect has been arrested and he is currently undergoing investigation”.
Recall, on March 12, Eons Intelligence reported that gunmen invaded the Federal College and abducted about 39 students.
