Police in Cross River on Sunday arrested a fleeing suspect in Saturday’s abduction of a former INEC employee.
The suspect was hiding in the ceiling of his girlfriend’s house in Calabar when he was arrested.
He has confessed that the victim’s tenant initiated the abduction.
Police spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo, confirmed the arrest of the fourth suspect in the abduction of Mrs Caroline Bassey, who the police rescued hours after the abduction.
