The statement said that investigations by the Police team revealed that the kidnappers demanded a huge sum as ransom from the family of the little girl before she could be released, but eventually killed her owing to the inability of the family to meet up with their demands.

Efforts by the Police to rescue the little girl led to the arrest of the principal suspect, Friday Domozu who led the Police to a deep forest at Gabije area of Kogi State where the remains of the little girl were recovered.

The Police Team also exhumed the decomposing body of another victim later found to be that of one 40-year-old Ibrahim Madaki earlier declared missing.

The remains of the victims have been deposited for an autopsy.

Friday Domozu also revealed to the Police team that he is an ex-military trainee who was declared unfit and subsequently withdrawn 5-months into training based on medical grounds.

According to the statement, efforts are being intensified to arrest his gang members still at large.
