Parading the suspects before newsmen in Yenagoa, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Asuquo Amba said the suspects kidnapped one Aya Beauty from Warri and took her to Bayelsa where they kept her captive in a hotel while demanding for a N24 million ransom from her family.
The suspect reduced the ransom to N11 million and later to N200,000.
The kidnappers had collected N200,000 from her fiancee before they were apprehended.
