According to the statement by Henry Okoye, Police Public Relations Officer, all the suspected kidnappers are from Jau LGA of Jigawa State.
Okoye explained that the information already provided to the Police would lead to the arrest of other syndicates who are at large.
He said: “On combing the forest, two decomposing unidentified corpses suspected to be kidnapped victims and other items like telephones, wristwatches, shoes and slippers were recovered. The command intends to carry out further DNA confirmatory test to ascertain the identities of the deceased. Five operational motorcycles of the suspected kidnappers were also recovered.
