Police operatives in Plateau State have arrested a pastor, identified as Albarka Sukuya, for allegedly kidnapping himself twice and collecting ransom from his church members.
The command’s spokesperson, Alfred Alabo, in a statement on Wednesday, January 11, said the suspect staged his kidnap to dupe unsuspecting persons. “The Police has uncovered the nefarious act of one Pastor Albarka Sukuya of Jenta Apata, Jos, who on several occasions staged his kidnap with his cohorts and received ransom from sympathising members of his congregation.
Sequel to his spurious kidnaps of Nov. 14 and Nov. 15, 2022, where N400,000 and N200,000, respectively, were paid by his sympathisers as ransom for his release, the incidents trigg£red suspicion.
