Kano State government has demolished the N600,000 per year accommodation of the four-man syndicate in Jaba, Ungogo Local Government Area of the state where a woman (Maryam Mohammed) kidnapped her former boyfriend for refusing to marry her.
This was just as the state police command warned landlords to be careful of whoever that rents apartments in their houses so as to avoid renting them to criminals and kidnappers.
It would be recalled that the rescued 29-year-old kidnap victim, Mohammed Sanusi, on Wednesday in Kano narrated how he was kidnapped by the female leader of a four-man kidnap syndicate, Maryam Mohammed, in Kano on Friday, January 15, 2021.
Maryam Mohammed, popularly known as Hajiya was arrested last week Tuesday along with three other members of her syndicate at Jaba quarters, Ungogo local government area of Kano state ‘while negotiating ransom with the family of one of their captives.’
She said she was introduced into the crime by her uncle, one Hamza Dogo of Butsa village, Gusau local government of Zamfara state, after she had parted ways with her ex-lover.
“I was introduced into kidnapping by my uncle called Hamza from Butsa village, Gusau local government of Zamfara state and the first person we kidnapped was my ex-boyfriend who refused to marry me despite my efforts to get him convinced during our years of courtship.
