According to the statement, “On 08/02/2024 at about 11:00 hrs, a report was received from one Alhaji Rabiu Abdullahi, of Hotoron Fulani Quarters Kano, that he received a phone call from an unknown person stating that his son, Abdullahi Sani, aged 14 years old of the same address, was kidnapped and a ransom of Four Million Naira (N4,000,000:00) was demanded for his release.”

Kiyawa said, based on the report, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Usaini Gumel, engaged a team of policemen from the anti-kidnapping unit of the command to ensure the rescue of the victim and the arrest of the perpetrators.
