Already, the secret operatives have commenced a full interrogation of the doctor to gather more information about the business.
THISDAY checks and investigations revealed that the doctor was intercepted in the Jebba area in the Moro local government area of the state following intelligence reports about the activities of the kidnappers and their couriers.
