Police Corporal, Five Others Arrested For Kidnapping In Calabar

A police corporal alongside five other suspects were arrested when police stormed a kidnappers' hideout in Cross-River State

Six suspects including a police corporal involved in the kidnapping of a wealthy man in Calabar have been apprehended by the police in Cross-River State.

About three weeks ago, a man was abducted and disposed of N600,000 by gun men. He was afterwards dumped in a location in Calabar.

According to Punch report the man sighted the vehicle which was used by the kidnappers and alerted the police who immediately trailed the gun man and stormed their den.

During a raid at the kidnappers den, a Lebanese who was never reported to be kidnapped was rescued by the police.
