The Kaduna State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of one Abdulazeez Idris, for allegedly abducting and killing his six-year-old cousin identified as Aisha Saidu, in Makarfi local government area of the state.
The command’s spokesman, Mansur Hassan, who confirmed Idris arrest in a statement on Monday, said the suspect confessed to killing the victim because she recognized him.
He said Idris kidnapped the little girl on her way to Islamiyya school and demanded ransom from her parents.
