The Katsina State Police Command has arrested a suspect who kidnapped and buried a three-year-old child alive after collecting N150,000 ransom from his parent in Katsina community.
The suspect, Abubakar Abdulaziz 30, of Sabuwar Santa, Musawa LGA, Katsina State, according to police had criminally trespassed into the residence of one Adamu Alhassan of Bacirawa village in Musawa local government while he was deep asleep, and kidnapped his three three-year-old son to an unknown destination.
According to the Katsina Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Gambo Isah in a statement on Monday, the suspect before departing the scene, had dropped a letter, directing the victim's father to pay a ransom of N800,000 if he wants to secure the release of his son. He also left a contact phone number through which he can be contacted.
Alhassan in the bid to save his son contacted and negotiated with the suspect and offered the sum of N150,000 which he later discovered was an exercise in futility as the suspect had already buried the poor alive.
However, upon receipt of the report, CSP Gambo Isah said police detectives swung into action and were able to secure the arrest of the suspect, Abubakar Abdulaziz.
According to police report, the suspect in the course of investigation aside confessing to committing the offence, also confessed to have buried the child alive after receiving the ransom.
