Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the killing of a 32-year-old man during an attempted kidnapping at Jilima in Garin Kuuka, an isolated community near Chereponi in the North East Region.<\/p>\n

The Saboba District Police Commander, ASP Victor Koafo, has confirmed that the suspects are in custody and are due for screening tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe arrested four, and I will be parading them before my Divisional Commander tomorrow,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Tuesday night when two armed men allegedly attempted to abduct the victim, identified only as Hashim, at his residence. <\/p>\n

Hashim, described by relatives as a wealthy young Fulani businessman, reportedly resisted the attackers, leading to a struggle.<\/p>\n

During the confrontation, one of the assailants allegedly shot him, resulting in his death at the scene. The attackers fled immediately after the incident.<\/p>\n

Security personnel from the Saboba District Police Command later visited the community to assess the situation and begin investigations.<\/p>\n

Police say intelligence-led operations led to the arrest of four suspects believed to be connected to the crime.<\/p>\n

The killing has increased fear among residents of the surrounding communities, where concerns over kidnapping and armed attacks have reportedly increased in recent months.<\/p>\n

Residents are calling for intensified security patrols and swift justice, while police have appealed for calm and urged the public to cooperate with ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
