He said the suspect later used a male magic voice on her mobile phone to inform the father of the child she is in the custody of his missing child and failure to pay a ransom of two million naira the child will be killed.

It was in the process of picking the two million naira ransom that the team of police detectives arrest the suspect and transfer her to Sokoto state police command headquarters for further investigation.
Also paraded are two serial burglars arrested for burgling a department at the state’s own Specialist Hospital and carting away valuables including four air conditioners.

The two suspects were later arrested in possession of the stolen items and the police said all the suspects will be charged in court at the conclusion of the investigation.
