Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested three suspected kidnappers who allegedly collected a ₦2 million ransom from their victim and still shot him after discovering he had little money in his bank account.
The suspects have been identified as Chukwuebuka Nka (25), Uche Okechukwu, and Somto Chukwuma.
According to reports, the suspects shot their victim in the leg upon realizing that his bank account did not contain as much money as they had expected.
Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe, stated that the arrests followed a distress call reporting the abduction of a young man from his residence in Ogwashi-Uku.
He said operatives tracked the suspects to a bush in Ogwashi-Uku, where the victim was rescued with a gunshot wound.
According to him,further investigations led to the arrest of Chukwuebuka Nka and Uche Okechukwu in Anambra State, where the victim’s white Toyota Venza was also recovered.
He said that based on the confessions of the two suspects, police operatives then raided a hideout in Agidiase village, Ogwashi-Uku, and arrested the third suspect, Somto Chukwuma.
Edafe said the suspects later led the police to another hideout, where their operational vehicle and a network jammer circuit device were recovered.
