Police in Borno paraded four kidnap suspects before newsmen in Maiduguri on Thursday.
Commissioner of Police, Mr Abdu Umar said the suspects, Abdu Isa, Musa Haro, Wada Hassan and Saleh Bukar were arrested in a joint operation between the police and local hunters.
They were arrested at Galadima Forest in Hawul Local Government Area of the state, he said.
