The Nigeria Police Force has revealed how those who abducted the 93- year old father of former Governor Joshua Dariye of Plateau  State murdered him in cold blood even after they had collected the sum of 10 million Naira in ransom money.
Sadly,  those who abducted and killed him were from the same community with him. They knew him. They were kinsmen.
in a non-repentant manner, the sponsor of the heinous crime put the blame on the former Governor who is now in jail over corruption.
“He was Governor for eight years and Senator for eight years without doing anything for the youths in the Community.”
The old man was killed the second time he was kidnapped. The first time he was kidnapped, he was released but killed the second time around.
CP Frank Mba, Force Spokesperson, told the chilling story of Pa Dariye’s murder when he paraded the killers at Force Headquarters, Abuja,  He said:

“Operatives of the Intelligence Response Unit of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested eight (8) notorious high-profile kidnapping suspects indicted in Police investigations for the abduction and eventual murder of Pa Dariye Dafwan, the late father of former Governor of Plateau State, in Horop community, Bokkos LGA of Plateau State.

“Pa Dariye was abducted on 17th June, 2020 and shot dead eight (8) days after the criminals hav​e collected a ransom of ten (10) million naira from the family of the deceased. The arrest of the suspects follows unrelenting efforts by the Police to ensure perpetrators of the dastardly act are arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.

“The breakthrough that led to the arrest of the suspects began with the arrest of one Abubakar Mohammed a.k.a Buba ‘m’ 23yrs, native of Gada Biyu in Daffo district, Bokkos LGA, Plateau State. Buba is one of the principal suspects in the kidnap operation.

“The confession of the suspect which revealed how they abducted and murdered the nonagenarian, assisted the Police team in apprehending seven (7) other members of the gang – Ya’u Saidu aka Ya’u Kaban m’ 40yrs, from Kaban Village, Bokkos LGA, Plateau State, Titus Ezekiel 34yrs from from Horop, Bokkos LGA, Dauda Isah ‘m’ 30yrs, from Horop, Sunday Ibrahim m’ 35yrs, Mushere tribe from Horop, Mangut Shumwar ‘m’ 30yrs, from Horop, Henry Amos ‘m’ 35yrs native of Horop, and Jethro Ngusen ‘m’ 57yrs, native of Horop.

“Investigations further revealed that it was Jethro Ngusen, the mastermind and convener of the gang, that instructed one of the gang members, Mangut Shumwar to kill Pa Dariye, because he feared that Pa Dariye might recognize the suspects since majority of them are from the same village with the deceased. Jethro was also identified as the one who took custody of the ransom and later shared the proceeds of the crime amongst the gang members.

“Similarly, the Police team arrested one Sadiq Abubakar ‘m’ 31yrs old from Kogi State and one Peter Moses ‘m’ 25yrs old from Kaduna State who abducted a 22yr-old lady to a location in Suleja.

“The suspects held the young lady hostage, had repeated canal knowledge of the victim and extorted money from her parents as ransom before her release. Investigations by the Police team show that the suspects, who are serial virtual kidnappers, usually meet their victims on social media platforms particularly, Facebook, and thereafter lure them to their criminal hideout before subjecting them to sexual molestation and further obtaining ransom from their families.
