The Adamawa State Police Command has announced the arrest of two individuals suspected of involvement in a kidnapping case and issuing threats within the Sarau Belel community.
Swift Police Action Following Complaint
According to the command's spokesman, SP Suleiman Nguroje, the arrest was triggered by a formal complaint lodged on Friday, December 26, 2025. The complainant, Mr. Emmanuel Daniel, a resident of Sagal Village in Sarau Belel, reported to the police that he had been threatened with kidnapping by two persons.
Nguroje stated that the suspects allegedly went further, claiming responsibility for the earlier disappearance of Emmanuel's younger brother, Mr. Joshua Daniel, who had been missing since November 2024.
Coordinated Operation Leads to Arrest
Upon receiving the complaint, the Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, ordered immediate action. He directed the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Sarau Belel and operatives from the division to conduct a coordinated operation.
This swift response resulted in the successful apprehension of the two suspects. During preliminary investigations, the arrested individuals confessed to the allegations leveled against them and are reportedly providing useful information to aid the police.
Case Transferred for Diligent Prosecution
To ensure a comprehensive and discreet investigation, CP Morris has ordered the transfer of the case to the command's Anti-Kidnapping Unit. The unit is tasked with conducting a thorough probe and ensuring the suspects face diligent prosecution in accordance with the law.
The police spokesman used the opportunity to reassure residents of Adamawa State of the command's unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property. He also urged the public to continue supporting the police by providing timely and credible information that can help prevent and solve crimes.
