She added that the suspects already made confessional statements to the police and would be arraigned upon the conclusion of the investigation.
“Luck ran out on the duo as the police tracked the owner of the bank account into which they received the ransom money.
“The suspects never knew that they were being trailed. We are happy that two out of four of them have been apprehended,’’ she stated.
Ugbo added that locally-made pistols, ammunition, phones and other valuable items were recovered from the suspects.
She warned members of the public against sharing their bank details with others as such details could be used for fraud or other illicit dealings.
