Police nabs kidnap kingpin in Benue

Date:

From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi

A kidnapped kingpin in Benue State Samuel Achoho has been nabbed by the Benue State Police Command.

Achoho who is said to be a relative of late Chief Justice of the State, Iorhemen Hwande was arrested over the weekend by Special unit ‘Operation Zenda’.

It would be noted that Achoho had been on the run as Police arrested his gang members last week in Makurdi.

Similarly, the State government destroyed the hideout of the kidnappers located  behind the Polo club off Otukpo road.

Parading the suspect at the Police headquarters, Samuel said he specializes in kidnapping women because they cooperate better, adding that he has been into the nefarious act with his elder brother and a friend for barely two (2) years.
