The witness further told Daily Trust correspondent that the suspect confessed to being a kidnapper alongside seven others, adding that nemesis caught up with him while attempting to kidnap a nine-year-old child.

"People of the area have been watching the man who lived in an abandoned building by the roadside. And true to their suspicion, he was caught attempting to abduct a little child", the source added.
