The man was linked to the June 9 abduction of two herders and a driver near Daku community in Gwagwalada. After collecting a ransom of ₦15 million, the “Faces in the Crowd” moment came when vigilantes apprehended him in the bustling market.
- Two herders and a driver were kidnapped while returning from Izom market after selling cattle.
- ₦15 million ransom was paid before the victims were released.
- The suspect was caught at the market, dressed in a Kaftan, blending with shoppers.
