Two young men, Mukhtar Mohammed and Husseini Suleiman, have been apprehended in Adamawa State for the kidnapping and murder of six-year-old Ebuka Edwin in Tudun Wada village. The suspects demanded a ransom of N10 million but settled for N152,000 for the victim’s feeding. Police Commissioner Dankombo Morris dispatched a team led by SP Mohammed Yahaya Nuhu to rescue the victim and capture the perpetrators. Mohammed and Suleiman confessed to kidnapping Ebuka, taking him to a forest near the Nigeria-Cameroon border, and fatally injuring him with a knife. They buried his body in a shallow grave while continuing to demand ransom until their arrest. The police express condolences to Ebuka’s family and vow to prosecute the suspects diligently.
