The police detective attached to the Anti -kidnap unit of the Zone 7 police command headquarters in Abuja have arrested five suspects and also recovered live ammunitions and six bottles of codeine syrups.

AIG Benneth Igweh, who disclosed this while parading the suspects before newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, said charms, POS machine, 101 ATM cards, foreign currencies, check book, empty phone packs, international passport, military uniform, calabash and some other hard drugs were recovered from the suspects.

He said the suspects, which comprised of three females and two male adults were arrested at the weekend.

He gave the names of the arrested suspects as Hamza Usman, Fatima Abdullahi, Aisha Alkassim, Umaima Adam and Jamila Umar.

According to him, the arrest was carried out after the Zone 7 police command headquarters received an intelligence report on activities of some unscrupulous elements hibernating at a residential building on Niamey Street, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja.

AIG Igweh, however, debunked reports on social media that police from Zone 7 headquarters have arrested one Alhaji Kamba at his residence and recovered various firearms.
