Court remands four suspected kidnappers of UNIABUJA lecturers, children

Four suspects allegedly involved in the kidnapping of University of Abuja lecturers and their children in 2021 were arraigned on Monday at a Federal High Court, Abuja.

Justice Okorowo, though initially held that since their lawyer was in court, they could speak through their counsel, gave them the leave to express themselves following their insistence. The government lawyer argued that due to the nature of the charge, the defendants should be remanded in Department of State Service custody.

The abductors, who contacted the families of the victims a day after their kidnap, demanded a ransom of N300 million.
