KIDNAPPER DRUGGED 11-YEAR-OLD VICTIM TO DEATH.

Mohammed Abdullahi, a 19-year-old kidnapper from Gujba in Yobe State, killed and buried his 11-year-old victim.

The juvenile kidnapper kidnapped a neighbor’s 11-year-old son, demanded ₦600,000 in ransom, and murdered him with a narcotic before burying him.

Yobe State Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Garba, expressed alarm about the resurgence of criminal activity in the state and paraded 18 suspects, including the suspect, before the Police Command headquarters in Damaturu.

“Mohammed Abdullahi, a 19-year-old suspect from Buniyadi, abducted the son of their neighbour’s 11-year-old and later demanded a ransom of 600,000 naira.

“When the parents of the victim could not meet his demand, he later bought drugs and administered them to the victim to sleep and the victim later died.

“The suspect later buried the corpse in their house while his parents were away and was later apprehended by the police,” Garba said.

The police commissioner expressed concern over the insecurity in Yobe State.

He urged the state government to provide empowerment programs and skills acquisition for the youth in the state.

This, according to him would keep them engaged and prevent them from roaming about, taking drugs, and causing trouble in communities.
