The Northern Regional Police Command has arrested three (3) suspected kidnappers in connection with the abduction of Ayuba Sumiya Mawudu, alias Haruna, at Dobini Bunban near Yendi in the Northern Region.
The suspects have been identified as Mahumudu Abdulai, 32, Ganiu Sumaila, 32, and Abdulai Salam, 28. They were arrested at different locations in Sang in the Mion District on September 29, 2026.
According to the police, preliminary investigations indicate that the victim was abducted on September 25 by four armed men who attacked him and his brother at their residence.
The abductors subsequently contacted the victim’s family and demanded GH¢100,000 for his release.
The victim, however, managed to escape from his captors and was assisted by some farmers in Sambu, who took him to a clinic for medical attention.
Police proceeded to the facility, where they engaged the victim. He told investigators that he had been taken to an undisclosed location and kept under guard by armed men before managing to escape.
The victim later identified all three arrested suspects from photographs provided by the police.
Further investigations have also linked the suspects to other robbery incidents in the area, according to the police.
The three suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations, while efforts are underway to arrest the remaining accomplices and establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
