Kidnap Suspect Arrested at Abuja Hajj Camp

Security operatives have apprehended a wanted kidnap suspect, Yahaya Zango, at the hajj camp in Abuja during a screening exercise for pilgrims preparing to depart for Saudi Arabia.

The suspect, who resides in Paikon-Kore, Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT, was declared wanted by security agencies due to his alleged involvement in several kidnapping cases.

He was arrested when he presented his passport alongside other Muslim pilgrims from Abuja, and DSS operatives whisked him away after confirming his identity.
