The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Niger Command, says it has arrested an 18-year-old student, who attempted to kidnap the Provost of his institution, College of Fisheries, New Bussa.
The command’s spokesperson, ASC Nasir Abdullahi,disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Minna.
According to him, the suspect conspired with one other person, now at large, towrite a letter threatening to kidnap the provost if he failed to pay ransom.
Nasir however said that the suspect did not demand for any particular amount before he was arrested by detectives from the command.
The spokesman said the suspect has been arraigned before a Chief Magistrates Court on a two-count charge of criminal conspiracy and intimidation.
