Spokesman of the police command in the state, Othman Abubakar said that the command had received an official complaint on the matter and has since detailed its men to search for the teacher.
”We have received the report on the kidnapping case of the professor from MAUTECH Yola and our men are on top of the situation using all strategies to ensure that the professor of soil science is rescued unharmed and on time,” Abubakar stated.
He also said the command on Tuesday, October 30, paraded 11 suspects, saying ”seven out of them are kidnappers who have been terrorising Wuro-jabbe and Vuno-Killang areas in the state capital.”
It was gathered that when Zata (the first victim) was kidnapped, the family had to pay N2 million to ensure his release.
