The police in Anambra State have arrested a popular hotelier, Mr. Arthur Udo Christopher, in connection with the kidnap of Mr. Vincent Ohiagwu, the Operations Manager of the Zenith Bank Plc, Nkpor Branch.
Addressing journalists in Awka on Friday, the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Mr. Ballah Nasarawa, said the hotelier was arrested in Enugu after four of the suspected kidnappers made confessions that led to the rescue of the bank manager and one Mr. Osita Okafor from Uga on Aug. 4.
Christopher’s hotel, Arthur Garden Hotel, Umusiome, Nkpor, near Onitsha, was closed down by the Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, last weekend after the police arrested the four kidnap suspects there.
Nasarawa said the other two branches of Arthur Garden Hotel at Afor-Nkpor and Anglican Lane, Off Limca Road, Nkpor had also been closed down by the police.
He gave the names of the kidnap suspects as Chinedu Eze, Obumneme Madugha, Okezue Chukwuemeka and Okoro John.
However, the family of the hotelier has disputed the claim of the police that kidnappers were arrested at the hotel. A spokesman for the family, Mr. Augustine Udo, who claimed he was the executive consultant to the hotel, said no kidnapper was arrested at the hotel.
He challenged the police to parade the kidnappers they claimed they arrested. He alleged that the whole story had been politically orchestrated to portray the hotelier in bad light.
