Austin Eromosele
A suspected kidnapper has confessed before the Nigerian security operatives that he specialises in the kidnapping of women, especially the rich ones against their will and demands ransom from them.
The 53-year-old suspect, who’s a former soldier was arrested in Asaba, Delta state and was one of the over 173 persons arrested for armed robbery, kidnapping, and cultism in recent times.
While confessing to the crime, he said
“My victims have always been females. I have never gone for my kind. I kidnap valuable girls, ladies, and women and this has never failed us. I resigned as a soldier to concentrate on kidnapping.”
The suspects were said to have been terrorising and causing fear in towns and villages in the state. Tola who is from Adamawa state said he resigned from the Nigerian Army on his own preference to start a four-man gang of kidnappers.
Though the former Nigerian soldier did not mention his victims even although he assured that he had been involved in the kidnapping of three female victims and the money they paid was a whole lot of money. He also revealed that his gang had not killed anyone.
“We did not kill any victim and no victim had died in our hands.We make money from the game (abduction) and set them free thereafter.”
Tola met his waterloo after he plans to collect N1m from the family of a kidnapped victim at Gabbs Supermarket on Okpanam Road in Asaba; it was there the detectives encircled him and he was arrested immediately.
The state commissioner of police, Zaana Ibrahim, and his PPRO, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, alongside the team of detectives said the suspect had remained notorious because of his military experience.
While his gang members are yet to be caught, Ibrahim revealed that they target their victims at places of interest like at the supermarkets, eateries, relaxation centers and so on. The chief police said Tola and the other suspects would be arraigned as soon as the investigations are completed.
