A 25-year-old woman, Raham Sulaiman, has been arrested by the police in Kano State for allegedly “kidnapping” her 6-year-old daughter, Hafsat Kabiru, and demanding N3m ransom from her ex-husband.
Sulaiman allegedly took her daughter to a nearby relative in Madobi to keep for her, claiming she would travel for several days.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammad Usaini Gumel, disclosed these when he paraded the woman alongside other suspects arrested for various crimes, at the police headquarters in Bompai on Thursday, May 11, 2023.
The police boss explained that the command received a report from the husband, Kabiru Shehu, that his daughter had been kidnapped.
“On 08/05/2023, a report was received from one Kabiru Shehu of Sharada Quarters, Kano Municipal LGA that his divorced wife, one Rahma Sulaiman, ‘f’, 25 years old informed him that his daughter named Hafsat Kabiru, ‘f’, 6 years old was missing and that unknown persons called her through her mobile phone demanding the sum of Three Million Naira (N3,000,000:00k) as ransom,” CP Gumel said.
“In a follow-up investigation, the victim was rescued in Madobi LGA. The divorced wife was arrested and confessed to have planned, took her daughter to a hideout, and demanded the ransom. Investigation is in progress.”
