The Adamawa State Police Command says it has foiled a plan by some suspected kidnappers to abduct a businessman.
The command said in a statement obtained Saturday afternoon: “On the 26/1/2023, the command operatives attached to State Intelligence Bureau (SIB), in a sustained effort, foiled an organized crime to kidnap one Emmanuel Ebel, a resident of Jambutu, Yola North Local Government Area.”
The statement, signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said the outcome followed a reliable bit of information received about the organized crime from a good Samaritan.
“The command, upon receiving the information, designed a security ring around the target and luckily engaged the suspected kidnappers,” the police stated.
The command named the five-man gang as Chubrandom Nana Safinga, 30 years old; and a resident of Yaounde, Cameroon Republic, Ibrahim Tala, 32 years old; and a resident of Douala, Republic of Cameroon; Ngosso Ndjombe, 28 years old; also a resident of Douala.
The other two, also from Cameroon, are Mmai Bmie Rostand, 32 years old; and Nossu Ngambewo Ricky, 27 years old.
The Adamawa Police Command reiterated that the five are all illegal immigrants from the neighboring Cameroon Republic who were arrested some minutes later.
