A notorious kidnap kingpin, Samuel Achoho who specialises in abducting women together with his gang in Makurdi town and environs has been apprehended by the Kogi state police command.

Two members of the gang were earlier arrested during their last operation which was foiled by the police.

The property used for the kidnapping activities was also demolished by the State Government in line with the Benue State law on Cultism, Kidnapping and other related matters (2017).

The building is said to belong to late Chief Judge of Benue State, Justice Iorhemen Hwande.
