One of the suspects, Shaibu Adamu led operatives to a location in the nearby village (Kawu village) where he buried part of the ransom money. The sum of two hundred and fifty thousand naira only (N250,000.00) in a polythene bag was recovered and marked as exhibit.

The Ag Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim k. Idris wishes to reassure Nigerians that the Police will not relent its commitment and determination to ensure that criminals and their collaborators have their day in court to face the wrath of the law.
However, members of the public must see law enforcement as a collective responsibility of all sundry and avail the Police credible information and assistance.
Thank you all for your attention and God Bless.
