The Adamawa police command says it has arrested five Cameroonians over the attempted kidnap of Emmanuel Ebel, a resident of Jambutu in Yola-North LGA.
Suleiman Nguroje, the command’s spokesperson, announced the arrest on Saturday in Yola, the state capital.
He said the abduction was averted following reliable information that led to the arrest of the “illegal” immigrants.
Nguroje listed the suspects to include Chubrandom Safinga, 30; Ibrahim Tala, 32; Ngosso Ndjombe, 28; Mmai Rostand, 32; and Nossu Ngambewo Ricky, 27.
Nguroje said the commissioner urged residents to always inform the police of the whereabouts of criminals and their accomplices.
