SP Suleiman Nguroje, the command’s spokesperson, disclosed this in a statement issued in Yola on Tuesday.
Mr Nguroje said the suspects were arrested on August 17 by the intelligence department of the command in Kojoli, Jada LGA.
“The suspects are Abdullahi Iya, 20, and Barkindo Yahaya, 19, both residents of Kojoli.
“They were arrested after they called and threatened to kidnap or kill Halilu Bello and Abubakar Hammayero unless they pay a ransom of N10 million,” the spokesperson stated.

Mr Afolabi called on the general public to be security conscious and report any security threats to the police for prompt action.
