The army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, said in a statement that four suspected kidnappers were also arrested at Mundu village in the state, following a tip off.
“They were found to be in possession of one locally made six-loader single barrel gun, one empty cartridge, two machetes, a knife, two handsets, two packets of tramol tablets and N360,” he said.
He said further investigation into the arrests would continue.
