The charge sheet added that they (Mohammed and Chemo) later demanded a N30m ransom from the family but that were arrested in the bush during a search for the victim after which they confessed to be on their your way to get an AK-47 rifle from the trio of Dan-Makarata, Dan-Basil and Faruk in the Oro-Ago area.
