The informants, residing in Jalingo and towns and villages across the state, are the ones who give directions to the kidnappers to abduct people for ransom because they live among the people and know them better.
The rate of kidnapping, it was gathered, has instilled fear in the minds of residents of Jalingo as well as those residing in other parts of the state.
The hoodlums in recent weeks have killed five persons including a local government chairman and secretary of one of the chiefdoms in the state, apart from those killed few years ago.
Similarly, the hoodlums who operate mostly in the night have abducted several individuals including a member of the State House of Assembly and a special Assistant to Governor Darius Ishaku and collected huge sums as ransom.
