DSS Apprehends Suspected Kidnap Kingpin at Sokoto Airport

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested a suspected kidnap kingpin, identified as Sani Galadi, at Sultan Abubakar International Airport in Sokoto.

The arrest occurred on Monday at approximately 11:15 a.m. during a routine screening exercise for pilgrims at the Hajj terminal. Intelligence officers had been tracking Galadi and successfully apprehended him without incident.

Galadi is believed to be involved in multiple high-profile kidnapping cases across the region. His arrest is considered a significant breakthrough in the ongoing efforts to combat kidnapping and related crimes in Nigeria.

Authorities have not yet released detailed information about the specific charges or the next steps in the legal process. However, the DSS has confirmed that Galadi is in custody and that investigations are ongoing.

This development underscores the continued commitment of Nigerian security agencies to address the country’s security challenges and ensure the safety of its citizens.
