A sum of N50m ransom was requested

Saturday Vanguard gathered that the detectives trailed the
fleeing suspects to Ughelli where a woman in whose custody the baby was
kept by the pastor was arrested.

The
Police Image Maker Wole Ogodo told Saturday Vanguard exclusively that
the baby was rescued from the suspected member of the kidnap gang late
yesterday.
Ogodo added that the pastor kept the baby in the custody of the middle aged woman in Ughelli.
