The Zamfara State Police Command says it has rescued a three-year-old girl, Nabila Abdulganiyu, after about two weeks in captivity, following the arrest of her twenty-six-year-old paternal aunt over alleged kidnapping.
In a statement, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Yazid Abubakar, says the suspect, Saadiya Sahabi, was arrested on the tenth of November at Bela District in Bungudu Local Government Area in an intelligence-led operation.
He explains that the victim's father reported her abduction on the twenty-eighth of October, while a caller later demanded a ransom of ten million naira for her release.
The Police Public Relations Officer says preliminary investigations identified the suspect as the victim's aunt, who allegedly confessed to the crime during interrogation.
DSP Yazid Abubakar added that the rescued girl was medically examined before being reunited with her parents on the twelfth of November, while investigation continues to identify other possible accomplices.
He urges members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to security agencies.
