Kidnapper’s informant held

Police have arrested a trader in Aba, Abia State for allegedly being an informant of kidnappers who have been terrorising the commercial city. 

The suspect, identified simply as Uwakwe, who sells second hand clothes and resides on Hospital Road, in Abia, was said to have given information to kidnappers over a period of time. His information has led to the abduction of prominent men in the area, among them a popular medical doctor and a businessman whose office was adjacent to the suspect’s house.
A police source said Uwakwe’s business, which he used as cover, was to go to the New Ngwa Road Market and pick second hand clothes of the highest quality and resell them to prominent men in the city. According to the source, with this, the suspect became very close to some of the prominent men that he was able to monitor their movements and subsequently pass information to members of his gang.
