The 24-year-old father of three added that Sanusi lured him into kidnapping on the promise that he would make a lot of money.

He said, “I dropped out from primary school and went into cattle rearing. I bought a motorcycle and started operating around Samaru town in ABU and ABU Teaching Hospital. I used to make close to N3,000 daily. I went into kidnapping because of greed through Sanusi.

Yakubu, who said their next operation was at ABU, stated that they were contracted by a former CSO of the university. He claimed that the ex-CSO contacted him through one Arbo Bello.

Yakubu said he was arrested at Biye village while another victim they kidnapped was in their camp, adding that he led the police to apprehend two other members of the gang.

The guard, 27-year-old Aliu, said he agreed to join the gang because he was not happy about the former CSO’s sacking.
