Will Kill Any Victim That Resists Kidnap - Suspects

Suspected nine-man armed bandits recently arrested in Lagos for alleged kidnapping within and outside the metropolis have confessed to have killed some of their victims, among them a United State based Nigerian business man, identified as Odidi Nweze. The victim was allegedly killed in front of Oxpharm Specialties Limited in Lagos.

The suspects were identified as Kelvin Emenike, gang leader, Uche Igbani aka Rasta, Chibuzo Osuagwu, Olixer Nwalozie, Emenike Ovasi, Onyebuichi Anaekw and Ngozi Onowu. They were paraded yesterday before news men at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja by the state’s police commissioner Umar Manko, Emenike, 33, stated that it was one of their rules to kill any of their victims who struggled with them during the kidnap. “I shot Odidi Nweze dead because he attempted to disarm us when we ran into him at Satellite town. After we killed him, we also collected the sum of N1.5m from his family members as ransom,” Emenike.
