Police arrest five Cameroonians in Adamawa

The Adamawa State Police Command has said it has arrested five Cameroonians suspected of involvement in the attempt to kidnap one Emmanuel Ebel, a resident of Jambutu, Yola-North LGA.

Command spokesman SP Suleiman Nguroje made this known in a statement in Yola on Saturday.

He stated that the crime was foiled after reliable information from a Good Samaritan led to the arrest of all the illegal immigrants.

“The commando agents of the State Intelligence Agency have with sustained efforts thwarted an organized crime group to kidnap one Emmanuel Ebel, a resident of Jambutu, Yola North Local Government Area.

“After receiving the information, the command designed a security ring around the target and luckily called in the suspected kidnappers,” he said.

Nguroje listed the suspects to include; Chubrandom Safinga, 30; Ibrahim Tala, 32; Ngosso Ndjombe, 28; Mmai Rostand, 32; and Nossu Ngambewo Ricky 27.

“All illegal immigrants from the neighboring Republic of Cameroon were arrested 20 minutes before committing their organized crime.

“Police Commissioner CP Sikiru Akande, while commending OC SIB and his men for their gallantry and professional conduct that led to their arrest, also orders them to keep up the pace as a crime prevention strategy,” he said.

Nguroje said the commissioner urged residents to always inform police about the whereabouts of criminals and their accomplices.

He equally reassured the government and good people of Adamawa State of the police’s continued efforts to protect citizens’ lives and property.
