A suspected kidnapper allegedly linked to the abduction of a University of Jos student, John Arum Azi, has been identified on social media as Musa Maliya.
According to reports circulating online, the suspect was identified on TikTok and is said to be from Toro Local Government Area in Bauchi State. The development comes amid growing concern over the safety of the abducted student, whose captors had earlier released a disturbing video and demanded a ransom for his release.

The case has sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians calling for swift action from law enforcement agencies to apprehend those responsible and ensure justice is served.
