The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has arrested a 34-year-old woman, Nansik Wuyep Sule, and several other suspects over alleged cases of fake kidnapping, kidnapping, armed robbery and illegal firearms trafficking across different states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspects were arrested by operatives of the Force Intelligence Department (FID) and Intelligence Response Team (IRT) during intelligence-led operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operations also led to the recovery of an AK-47 rifle, ammunition and other exhibits in some of the cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Briefing journalists on Wednesday, Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, said Sule allegedly conspired with Catherine Davou, mother of a two-year-old boy, and Luka Emmanuel Butdam to stage the child\u2019s abduction and demand N15 million ransom from his grandmother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iniedu said Sule was arrested in Jos, Plateau State, on July 23, 2026, following credible intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said during interrogation, Sule allegedly confessed to conspiring with Davou to fake the child\u2019s abduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the police, the child was hidden in Davou\u2019s residence while Butdam allegedly made calls to the grandmother, demanding N15 million as ransom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police said all three suspects were subsequently arrested and the child rescued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
