Thank God for the internet, infact some of us wouldn’t have ever believed some stories we read here if we were told by someone. How heartless can some people be?
The four suspected kidnappers of a four-year-old-boy, Steve Kanu, in Abeokuta have confessed that a ransom of N1m was paid to them before he was rescued.
Steve was kidnapped at his parents’ home at Laderin Estate, Abeokuta, on Monday, November 2, 2015.
He was, however, rescued alive last Friday by the men of the Ogun State Police Command, who swooped on the kidnappers at Nsukka, Enugu State, and rescued the boy alive.
Dr. and Mrs. Mucipay Kanu, beamed with smile when they appeared with their son at the state police command headquarters, Eleweran, on Monday.
The suspects arrested for the crime were also paraded by the Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali.
The suspects are Kenechukwu Amoke (21), Anayo Amoke (35), Oluchi Asadu (20) and Maureen Uchenna (25).
Maureen, who was a staff nurse in Dr. Mucipay Kanu’s hospital in Abeokuta for over three years before she resigned in July this year, was said to have planned the abduction of Steve with her boyfriend, Obinna Amoke, who is currently on the run.
The nurse said she regretted being part of the kidnapping.
She said, “I learnt that Doctor paid N1m ransom to one of our members in Abeokuta before the police detectives arrested us in Enugu.
“I regretted my action, but it was my boyfriend, who wanted to travel abroad and wanted to pay my bride price, that put pressure on me to commit this crime.”
The commissioner, while parading the suspected kidnappers, said the manhunt for Obinna was on, adding that he would be arrested.
“The boy was kept for eight days in Anayo Amoke’s residence in Isale Ibefun in Abeokuta, before he was moved to Nsukka, where they kept him in Oluchi Asadu’s house,” the CP said.
He said he would liaise with the Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, to ensure that Obinna’s house in the village was demolished.

Seriously this country don tired me, God has catch you people.that is why i no fit marry igbo girls' there bride price can make person do bad thing.
Ibo girls are not meant for LAZY LADS like you. To be a man, you must work hard and grow into position of responsibilities. You only dirty your hands to marry because its in you not because of any pride price. Are you saying all men that married Ibo girls are kidnappers or what? Onye ara!
