The Abia State command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Friday arrested 37 suspects allegedly involved in kidnapping operations across the state.
Geoffrey Ogbonna, spokesman Abia State police confirmed the incident to Reuters, but said investigations were ongoing.
“Police, acting on a tip-off raided their den,” he said.
“We arrested 37 suspected kidnappers and they are still being screened as the investigation continues.”
He disclosed that the kidnappers den was situated at Onitsha.
Incidents of kidnapping have been on the increase in some parts of the country, adding to the terrorism challenges confronting government.
Only on June 9, suspected armed-robbers in Abuja abducted the daughters of their victim, and later demanded ransom as compensation for the unsatisfactory amount of money they found in the house.
