The Sokoto State Police Command has successfully arrested two suspected kidnappers and rescued a 10-year-old boy named Muhammad Sufiyanu. Abdullahi Buba, also known as “Osho,” was apprehended on August 8 during a police raid on a criminal hideout in Tudun Doki village, Gwadabawa local government area, following credible intelligence received around 2 pm.
