One Salahatu Haruna, 30, a suspected kidnapper, has been arrested after abducting his elder brother, Yakubu Haruna, and killing his 7-year-old nephew in Bingiyaro, Kaduna State. Blackboxnigeria gathered.
The suspect was arrested along side two others, Isa Yakubu and Umaru Musa.
Musa was alleged to have been paid N10,000 for knowing about the planned abduction of Yakubu, but kept quiet about it.
One of the suspects, after abducting Yakabu, opened fire on his 7-year-old son, thereon demanding N3,000,000 as ransom for Yakabu.
However, N1, 000, 000 was collected from Yakabu, as his brother, Salahatu, got N200, 000 as his share.
Nemesis caught up with Salahatu, when he started throwing money around, as some members of his village, suspicious of his sudden wealth, tipped-off operatives of the IRT.
The operatives launched investigation and soon found out that Salahatu had a hand in his brother’s abduction and nephew’s death.
During interrogation, Salahatu said: “I wasn’t angry with my elder brother, but I organized his abduction because I had no money or food to feed my two wives and nine children.
“I equally do not have enough money to spend as a man. I was too ashamed to beg my brother for money because there is a sort of rivalry between his wives and mine.
“I’m pained that I got my nephew killed. I believe that it was my nephew’s destiny to die young. I want the police to give me a second chance.”
