Jigawa state police command has apprehended Alhaji Datti Buba, a notorious criminal from Bauchi, who is specialised in kidnapping, robbing and other nefarious activities in Dutse and environs.
The police command spokesperson, SP Abdu Jijiri, who confirmed the arrest to our correspondent said, Datti, who had been on the run since last year, connived with eight others and kidnapped two victims from Kafin Madaki, a Fulani settlement in Gwaram local government area of Jigawa and later killed the captives after collecting N3 million ransom.
The command’s spokesman said members of the state anti robbery team attached to Fagam sector in the local government, nabbed the suspect through a tip off on 26 December.
The spokesman assured that the police would not relent in their efforts to track down the remaining seven suspects, adding that, after completion of investigation, they would be charged to court to face trial.
Jijiri, who said investigation was ongoing, solicited the support of the general public with useful information that would lead to the arrest of the remaining suspects, assuring that all information given to the command would be treated with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
