Police Arrest Kidnap Suspect Hidden In GirlFriend Ceiling

Calabar, Cross River – Police in Cross River have arrested a fleeing suspect in connection with Saturday’s abduction of a former INEC employee.

The suspect was discovered hiding in the ceiling of his girlfriend’s house in Calabar when apprehended by authorities.

Police spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo, confirmed the arrest of the fourth suspect involved in the abduction of Mrs. Caroline Bassey, who was  rescued just hours after the initial abduction took place.

Police earlier arrested three suspects involved in the crime on Saturday, but the one arrested in the ceiling fled.

“The suspect was unsuspicious that officers of the Anti-Cultism and Kidnapping Squad were on his trail until he was apprehended at about 5 a.m.

“He has confessed to being the mastermind of Mrs Bassey’s kidnap. He identified Bassey’s tenant as the person who contracted him and his gang to kidnap the victim,” Ms Ugbo said.
