The police authorities in Kaduna have confirmed the arrest of three suspects over the incident of child theft recorded in Kafanchan, Southern Kaduna recently.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Kaduna State Police Command, ASP Aliyu Mukhtar confirmed this while fielding questions from AUTHENTIC News Daily in his office.
He said that the arrest was made possible, following investigations into a missing child in Kafanchan.
