The Rivers State Police Command has said
that two suspected kidnappers have confessed that they demanded one
AK-47 and 12 general purpose machine guns as ransom for the release of
their victim, Mrs. Chinyere Olumma. Olumma was rescued on Friday, May
22.
The suspects, according to the state
Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, had given the
family of the victim an.....
option of paying N50m as ransom or providing one
AK-47 and 12 general purpose machine guns before their victim would be
released.
Mohammad, who spoke with newsmen on
Tuesday, disclosed that the hoodlums had initially collected the sum of
N1m from Olumma’s family for the upkeep of their victim.
Luck, however, ran out of the two
suspects as they were rounded up by the police in Abua as they shared
the N1m meant for the victim’s upkeep. They were caught in one of the
suspects’ room.
However apart from the cash sum of N1m recovered
from them, a rope used in tying their victim to a tree was also
recovered from the suspected kidnappers.
However, one of the suspects, identified
as Solomon Obigwe, said he never knew that his friend (Christian Enwe)
was a kidnapper and that he was unfortunate to be with him (Enwe) and
his friends when police struck. Obigwe
