Three wanted kidnappers have been intercepted at the hajj camp in Abuja by the Department of State Services (DSS).

A competent source disclosed that the kidnappers were arrested yesterday during the screening of pilgrims who were preparing to be airlifted to Saudi Arabia.

The source could not disclose the names of the suspects.

The trio were reportedly declared wanted after their alleged involvement in banditry and kidnappings.

It was reliably gathered that the suspects had been on the run after security agencies launched a manhunt for them.

The DSS source hinted: “I can confirm operatives arrested three suspects.”

The source pledged to provide further details later.
