Three suspects are in police custody for allegedly kidnapping a 42-year-old man in Wapuli, a community in the Yendi District.
They were arrested by the Northern Regional Police Command, through an intelligence-led operation at Bokpaba, a village along the Bimbilla —Yendi stretch of the Eastern Corridor.
The suspects have been identified as Haruna Seidu, Amidu Bandi, and Osman Bandi.
