Police, EFCC Personnel gang, running ‘kidnap for ransom’ busted In Enugu

According to SaharaReporters, a clandestine team has was established by rogue police officers and EFCC officials to apprehend suspected “Yahoo boys.”

This team targets their residences or arrests them on the streets, more often for unlawful purposes.

According to sources, the security personnel have adopted a tactic akin to kidnapping, mimicking criminal organisations, as a means to circumvent the lack of evidence needed to formally arrest and charge suspected ‘Yahoo boys’, bypassing standard legal procedures.

SaharaReporters learnt that the squad’s victims are abducted and held captive in undisclosed locations until they meet the ransom demands, effectively being treated like kidnap victims.

This rogue squad, comprised of errant security personnel, detains the suspects in makeshift holding cells, mirroring the tactics employed by kidnappers, to extort money in exchange for their release.
