Police operatives in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have arrested a suspected kidnapper in the city.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, Mr. Haruna Garba, disclosed this to journalists on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the suspect was arrested in Sauka village on January 21 and the kidnap victim was rescued.
The CP said: “Police operatives from Iddo Division received a distress call on January 21 that some armed men in a black coloured Toyota Corolla fired the tyres of a moving Prado Jeep of one Suleiman Sabo.
“Sabo, who was going to his house in Sabon Lugbe, was forced to stop and bundled into the kidnappers’ vehicle, leaving behind his Prado Jeep and his wife.
“The effort paid off when the DPO received information that something abnormal is happening in a particular house at Sauka village.
“The DPO moved in and cordoned the house, behold the kidnapped victim was found with the suspect armed with a Mark IV rifle and 10 rounds of live ammunition.
“He was promptly arrested and the arm recovered from him. The victim was rescued but with gunshot injuries.”
Garba said the victim has been admitted to hospital and is responding to treatment.
