Police in Sokoto State report that they rescue a 10-year-old boy who was allegedly abducted in Tangaza Local Government Area and arrest two suspected kidnappers in separate intelligence-led operations.
Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both say the operations are carried out by the Sokoto State Police Command as part of an intensified crackdown on kidnapping and other violent crimes. Vanguard describes the rescue as “dramatic,” adding that the boy is found stuffed in a sack during the operation. Daily Post Nigeria also names one suspect—Abdullahi Buba, also known as “Osho”—and says he is linked to a kidnapping syndicate operating in parts of the state.
Both outlets frame the incident as a breakthrough from police intelligence and do not provide further details on the boy’s condition, the timeline of the abduction, or the precise charges. They also do not state whether additional suspects are sought beyond the two arrested.
