“The suspects confessed to series of kidnapping in Niger, Kebbi, Kwara and Osun states and collection of millions of naira from their victims as ransom before they release the suspect.
“He (Dogo) is a big-time kidnapper who operatives of STS arrested. The suspects within the span of the last six months has been involved in high-level kidnappings missions and in his own words, his gang has raked in well over N200 million from various kidnap operations.”

“I participated in six kidnap operations. We kidnapped a Chinese expatriate and they paid N9 million as ransom without problem before he was released. For the one in Niger, I kidnapped and collected N4 million.
“After that, I was contacted by an informant who gave me another job and I realised N4 million. I got another job in Kebbi where we collected N1 million as ransom. Another victim we kidnapped didn’t have much and he was able to pay N500, 000 before he was released.”
