Kabiru Ali
A 15-year-old Kabiru Ali has been arrested by the Oyo state police command for allegedly planning and executing the kidnapping of his boss, Sani Rebo.
The Punch reports that Ali, who is a Fulani herdsmen helper, met other members of the kidnapping gang in a bush in Ilorin where they were planning the abduction.
Confirming the arrest, Leye Oyebade, the state commissioner of police, disclosed that Ali worked with 18-year-old Habibu Muazu, 20-year-old Kiro Umaru and others who had yet to be apprehended.
During the interrogation, the suspect said that he had been promised N50,000 by his older colleagues but they ran away when the police waded in.
“They told me that I would get N50,000 but after collecting the money, they did not give me any money. My job is to help people tend to their cattle. This is the first time I am involved in kidnapping,” he said.

Muazu, whose father was the head of the Fulani in Ilorin, allegedly supplied information leading to Rebo’s abduction but refused to play a direct role in the crime.
“Rebo was kidnapped in a brazen manner while returning home to Ikoyi-Ile from Igbeti market. After a report was made to the command, the Special Anti-kidnapping Squad was mandated to ensure the release of the victim and arrest of suspects. The arrest of Umaru, 20, by local vigilance men led to the arrest of two other principal actors.
“Ali met the gang while tending to some cattle in Ilorin bush and he masterminded the crime with the help of others who are still at large,” the commissioner of police said.
