The Delta State Police Command says its operatives have arrested a commercial motorcyclist suspected of abducting a three-year-old girl in the Ughelli area of the state, among other operational successes.
The command’s public relations officer, Bright Edafe, disclosed in a statement on Thursday.
According to Edafe, the suspect, identified as Kelvin Ogaga, allegedly abducted the child after being entrusted with her daily school runs before demanding a ransom of N500,000 from the family.
He stated, “The arrest followed a complaint received on May 18, 2026, from the father of the victim, who reported that the suspect had abducted his three-year-old daughter, a commercial motorcyclist who was entrusted with taking the child on daily school runs.
“It was gathered that the suspect allegedly kidnapped the child and subsequently demanded a ransom of N500,000 from the family. After negotiations, the family paid the demanded ransom to secure the release of the child.”
