At last, the Kogi state government has destroyed the one-storey building belonging to one Alhaji Tijanni Bakare, a self confessed kidnapping syndicate ringleader.

Bakare had confessed after he was apprehended by men of the Nigerian police of being the ring leader of a gang that has been terrorising residents of Kogi state and travelers along the state roads.



The police raided the house after his confession and discovered IEDs, guns and ammunitions.



The demolition of the house was backed by the state's Anti Kidnapping, Robbery and Terrorism Law passed by the State House of Assembly and assented to by the Former state governor, Idris Wada.

Governor Bello told Kogites harbouring criminals or even landlords unsure of the source of income of their tenants who live large should take this as a warning. He said any house where arms and ammunitions are recovered will be brought down.
