Nigeria’s secret police, the State Security Service, Thursday said it thwarted an attempt by some kidnappers to abduct one of the daughters of late President Umaru Yar’Adua.
Marilyn Ogar, the agency’s spokesperson, said two suspects, including a fake army general, have been arrested in connection with the incident.
Details of the incident are still sketchy.
However, cases of kidnap are on the upsurge, especially in the South of Nigeria.
Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, and the Archbishop of the Niger Delta Province of the Anglican Communion, Ignatius Kattey, were among high profile Nigerians who have just been released from kidnappers’ dens after they were held for days.
There are speculations that ransoms are usually paid before the abductors release their victims.
