Kidnappers Shoot Victim Over ‘Insufficient Funds’ In Account
Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested three suspected kidnappers after they collected N2 million ransom from their victim and still shot him.
The suspects, identified as Chukwuebuka Nka (25), Uche Okechukwu, and Somto Chukwuma, allegedly shot the victim in the leg after discovering he did not have enough money in his account.
According to the command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, the arrests followed a distress call that a young man had been kidnapped from his residence in Ogwashi-Uku.
He said the operatives tracked the suspects to a bush in Ogwashi-Uku, where the victim was rescued with a gunshot wound.
According to Edafe, investigation led to the arrest of Chukwuebuka Nka and Uche Okechukwu in Anambra State, where the victim’s white Toyota Venza was also recovered.
He added that based on the suspects’ confessions, operatives raided their hideout in Agidiase village, Ogwashi-uku, and arrested the third suspect.
The suspects then led the police to their hideout, where their operational vehicle and a network jammer circuit device were also recovered. (Daily trust)
