Suspected associates of notorious kidnapper, Terwase Akwaza, aka Ghana, have been arrested.
The suspects, Dondo Orsaa Terhile Mbaloha and Teryima Ihiambe, aka Clark, were arrested by operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) yesterday at various locations within Kastina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State.
The suspects and their kingpin, Ghana, have been terrorising the people of Benue and Taraba states for a while now.
Spokesman for the DSS, Tony Opuiyo, said coordinated operations carried out on June 9, 2017, led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, 9mm pistol, ammunition and army uniform from Orsaa.
He said: “On Monday, some of the operations were planned and executed with sister agencies on targeted kidnappers, terrorists and other high-profile criminals. Ghana has been on the wanted list of security agents, especially the police, over high-profile kidnappings.”
The Benue State government has placed a reward on his head.
