Police spokesperson, Frank Mba, told newsmen that a suspect, Malam Jafaru, who reportedly provides spiritual guidance to the kidnappers was also arrested.
The arrest comes in the wake of a spate of kidnappings that have hit the university campus and its environs, with staff and students taken for ransom.
Legit.ng recalls that some armed men kidnapped some Nigerian French Language students of ABU along the Kaduna-Abuja highway on Sunday, November 15, 2020.
One of the students among those in the bus who succeeded in escaping said the kidnappers had reached out to the families of the kidnapped students, demanding N30 million ransom on each.
