Police make Borno kidnapping arrest, nab uncle for abduction

The Borno State Police Command has arrested five suspects, including 20-year-old Mustapha Mohammed, who allegedly masterminded the abduction of his eight-year-old niece, drugged her and received a ransom of ₦3m through a cryptocurrency account.

A statement on Thursday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Daso, said the suspects were arrested between November 29 and December 4, 2025, following a discreet investigation.

Daso listed the suspects as Mustapha Mohammed, 20; Ismail Shuaibu, 25; Abdul Mohammed Bulama, 23; Amina Ibrahim, 19; and Lawan Yusuf Hassan, 25.

The statement reads, “The Borno State Police Command, under the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Naziru Abdulmajid, psc, has recorded another significant breakthrough with the arrest of five suspects in connection with the kidnapping of an eight-year-old girl in Maiduguri.

“On November 4, 2025, at about 1500hrs, a report was received at the Bulumkutu Police Division regarding the abduction of an eight-year-old girl of the Gomari area, Maiduguri, who was kidnapped while returning home from school.”

According to the statement, the abductors contacted the victim’s family and demanded a ransom of ₦3m, which was paid via cryptocurrency.

The victim was released on November 7, 2025.

“Upon receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police immediately directed the command’s Crack Squad to carry out a discreet and intelligence-driven investigation,” Daso said.

“Following intensive tracking, surveillance and digital tracing, the police crack team successfully apprehended five suspects between November 29 and December 4, 2025, who were found to have conspired in committing the crime,” he said.

He added that preliminary investigation revealed that Mustapha Mohammed, an uncle to the victim, masterminded the abduction in collaboration with Shuaibu and Bulama.

The suspects reportedly intercepted the child on her way from school, moved her through multiple tricycles to conceal their trail, and later took her to a tailor who changed her into a new plain dress before disposing of her school uniform.
