158843 attached to Intelligence Response Team Force
Headquarters, Abuja. I am now Assistant Superintendant of
Police (ASP). I could remember sometimes around October,

Response Team Office) when a letter of complaint was
brought from the American Embassy boldly written that a
number 09150266355 was used in demanding for ransom in
respect of a white American citizen that was kidnapped in
Masallata Area in Niger Republic and was brought to
Kalmanu Village in Illela Local Government Area of Sokoto
State. I was detailed to investigate this number i.e.

on the said number and it was discovered that the number
was in Illela Local Government. I then swing into action by
tracking the said number and it was discovered that the
number is in use and in the process of tracking, I and my
