It was learned that though the incident occurred in July 2024, Hamza Magaji, elder brother of the children’s mother reported it to the police at about 6.30pm on Thursday, August 15, after he received a phone call from Ibrahim Adamu, suspected to have plotted the abduction.

Ibrahim, who had reportedly connived with his brother, Mohammed Adamu to perpetrate the act, had allegedly told Magaji on phone that he had delivered the children to the Boko Haram sect as new members.
