allegedly providing food and logistical support to a suspected kidnapping gang operating within the Federal Capital Territory and surrounding areas.

Security operatives reportedly tracked and apprehended the suspect following intelligence that she was supplying meals and assisting members of the criminal network while they held victims in captivity.

Police sources said the arrest is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle support systems that enable kidnapping operations, not just the armed suspects involved in carrying out the crimes.

During preliminary questioning, investigators alleged that the suspect played a role in delivering food to hideouts used by the gang, helping sustain their operations over time.

Authorities say the arrest marks a breakthrough in identifying collaborators who indirectly support kidnapping activities across Abuja and nearby communities.

The suspect is currently in custody and assisting investigators as efforts continue to locate and arrest other members of the criminal network.

Security agencies have intensified surveillance and intelligence-led operations in response to rising concerns over kidnapping incidents in the region.

Police have urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements or activities to help prevent further crimes.

The case is expected to be charged to court after investigations are concluded.

Officials say the crackdown will continue as part of broader efforts to disrupt all forms of support for criminal gangs.
