It is the end of the road for a greedy kidnapper after he was nabbed trying to collect extra ransom from victims in Imo state. A kidnapper has been arrested while attempting to collect a ransom of N300,000 after his gang had initially received N1 million.
It was gathered that the kidnappers had allegedly abducted two entertainers, Ugo Stevenson and Izunna Obiakor, in Owerri, Imo State and demanded millions of naira. One of them was waiting to collect extra ransom when police officers nabbed him.
It was learnt that N1million was paid as ransom for their release of the entertainers after spending five nights in the kidnapper’ s den.
A 2007 Toyota Highlander Sports Utility Vehicle belonging to one of the entertainers was not recovered. The nabbed suspect and his fleeing gang members re-established contact with their victims demanding additional N300, 000 before his SUV could be released to them.
The operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, led by its Commander, Godfrey Victor, cashed in on that. The kidnap victims were asked to play along. It was in the process of receiving another ransom of N300, 000, after collecting N1 m earlier, that this suspect, Sunday Okoli , aged 35 , who hails from Amokohia Ubi in the Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State, was nabbed. Unfortunately, others escaped .”
During an interview with newsmen, Okoli said that he was given N100, 000 as his share from the ransom collected from the entertainers.
