Kidnappers arrested after developing romantic interest in victims

Kaduna police have arrested two suspected kidnappers who allegedly developed romantic feelings for the women they abducted.

The suspects are accused of abducting and sexually assaulting two married women.

During their captivity, the women reportedly pretended to reciprocate the suspects’ affections to survive, even exchanging phone numbers.

After being released, the women continued communication with the suspects and arranged a meeting under the pretense of a romantic encounter.

Acting on prior intelligence, police intercepted and arrested the suspects at the meeting location on Tuesday.
