Troops of the Nigerian Airforce have apprehended a 35 year old high-profile kidnapper known as Isah Abdul, at Durbunde in Takai Local Government Area of Kano State.
According to a statement by Director of Public Relations and Information of the NAF, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet says the arrest was carried out yesterday at about 6.30pm in a well co-ordinated operation, following credible intelligence on the hideout of the notorious Kidnapper and his boys who were responsible for several kidnapping incidences in the area.
The statement explains that preliminary investigation has since revealed that Isah Abdul and his gang were responsible for the abduction of one Yakubu Ibrahim Tagaho in April last year from his residence.

The victim was, however, released a month later after a ransom of thirty million naira was collected.
In December last year, the same criminal abducted two sisters and three others in the same village and released them after collecting a huge ransom.
The statement points out that he is also responsible for several other kidnapping activities as he has strong ties to other known kidnapping gangs like the Danbul Fulaku gang that also operate in Takai LGA.
The statement adds that Isah Abdul is currently in the custody of the Nigerian Airforce, still undergoing investigations and will soon be handed over to appropriate authorities for further proceedings.
