The police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have arrested one Samaila Wakili Fafa also known as Habu Ibrahim, a kidnap kingpin on the wanted list of the Command.

In a statement on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the police command, Josephine Adeh, said the suspect was arrested on February 24, 2024 when operatives stormed Sardauna Forest, Toto, in Nasarawa State.

The suspect was one of the two kidnappers the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, had placed a N20m bounty on, as the other suspect, Saidu Abdulkadir also known as Dahiru Adamu, had earlier been arrested by the command.

He later confessed that his syndicate masterminded and executed several kidnappings in FCT and its environs, including the abduction of Barr Chris Agidy, the legal aide to Senator Ned Nwoko and Mr Sunday Yahaya Zakwai, the district head of Ketti Village who were later killed by them.
