Police in Kano on Saturday arrested a 20-year-old man, following his failed attempt to kidnap a two-year-old baby, on Aba road, Sabon Gari, Kano State.
The suspected kidnapper was said to have been rescued by the police from the hands of the angry mob, that had earlier descended on him.
The man, (name withheld), according to sources sneaked into a one-storey building and successfully kidnapped the child but was apprehended downstairs by neighbours, who saw him attempting to escape with the child from the premises.
Neighbours gathered at the scene immediately an alarm was raised, and attempted to lynch the suspected kidnapper, who was armed, with charms, which, he believed would make him invisible, but apparently failed him.
As at the time of filing this report, the suspected kidnapper, was said to have been whisked away by security operatives to the Nomansland Police station for further interrogation.
However, several attempts, to reach the Kano Police Command PPRO, DSP Abdullah Haruna Kiyawa for confirmation failed, as he did not pick his call.
