The Police have arrested Teryima Yaji, relative of Deacon Emmanuel Yaji, President General (PG), Kunav United Development Association (KUDA) for masterminding the kidnapping of the KUDA PG.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Benue State Command CSP Anene Sewuese, says in a statement made available to journalists that Teryima has confessed “to have planned the kidnap to make more money from his relative (Deacon Yaji).”
Also arrested is “Terna Sule, a native doctor who prepared the gang for the operation and led them in the operation.”
CSP Anene says the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigation is completed.
Deacon Yaji was kidnapped on 30th December, last year at Tsar Mbaduku, Vandeikya Local Government Area (LGA). He was rescued the following day at a location in Kwande LGA, Benue State by operatives of Nigeria Police.
One suspected was arrested at the scene of the rescue mission, three others could not survive gun shots wounds from the ensuing gun duel with the police.
The instant arrest means the Police have taken three suspects in custody, in connection with the crime.
Aye!
Money, they say, is the root of all evils.
