For allegedly planning to kidnap a Nigerian in Adamawa state, five Cameroonian nationals have been arrested.

The spokesperson for the police in the state, SP Suleiman Nguroje, confirmed the arrest to SaharaReporters on Sunday.

He said, "The crime was busted following reliable information received from a good Samaritan, leading to the arrest of all illegal immigrants from the neighboring Cameroon Republic, 20 minutes before implementing their organized crime.

“The command upon receiving the information designed a security ring around the target and luckily engaged the suspected kidnappers.

“The five (5) man gang include (1) Chubrandom Nana Safinga 30 years, a resident of Yaounde, Cameroon Republic.
