The acting Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim K. Idris, has warned
criminals, especially kidnappers in the country never to think Nigeria
is lawless.
Idris gave the warning when operatives of the IGP’s
Intelligent Response Team, IRT, arrested a notorious kidnapping gang
known to have been terrorizing law-abiding citizens in Rivers State and
its environs.
The gang met its end when they kidnapped a woman and
her one-year old daughter from her Port Harcourt home, demanding the
sum of two million, five hundred thousand naira as ransom for their
freedom.
Based on credible intelligence generated by the IRT, this was, however, agreed as a bait.
But
the end of the kidnapping gang came when in their attempt to claim the
said sum of money at the agreed point; operatives of IRT engaged them,
rescued the victims and arrested four of the kidnappers who gave their
names as: Herbert Oriminagbe, Chijioke Akah, alias Kottos, Kelechi
Nwaordu, alias Seedof and Nelson Ajumogobia alias Ibios.
In their
confessional statements, the gang admitted that they were also
responsible for the kidnap of one Undunobuk and other innocent
Nigerians.
Going through a laptop computer recovered from them, it
was discovered that the real owner Undunobuk was once robbed in his
Port Harcourt residence and later kidnapped to unknown seaside only to
be released on the payment of one million, three hundred thousand naira
ransom.
Idris said the Police Force has the technical and
intelligence capacity and capability to reduce the perceived rise in
crime, especially kidnapping, armed robbery, cultism and other forms of
violent crime.
He, therefore, charged Nigerians to always inform
the Police when they perceived any act of criminality and avail
necessary credible information.
