Two students of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) have been arrested by the Imo State Police Command for alleged armed robbery and kidnapping. The suspects (names withheld) met their waterloo after they threatened to abduct and kill one Miss Joy Oparaugo if she fails to release the sum of N400, 000, being proceeds realized from the wedding ceremony of her girlfriend.
The suspects allegedly ordered her to bring the money to a lonely bush path in Nekede, Owerri West Local Government Area of the state and threatened to kill her if she failed to comply. The Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, who paraded the suspects along with other suspected criminals at the Command headquarters, said that upon the receipt of the information, the command’s Scorpion Squad traced the location of the caller, stormed the area and blocked all exit routes.
According to Abdulmajid, the two suspects emerged from their hideout to collect the bag of money from the victim who had called that she had brought the money.
He said the suspects were then rounded up by the police. Also paraded were members of a notorious kidnap syndicate that operated within Orlu, Orsu, Oguta and Isu local government areas. According to the Police boss, the suspected kidnappers were apprehended after the kidnap of one Agara Wilson, aged 30, from Amurie- Omanze in the Isu Local Government Area of the state.
He disclosed that the victim was abducted and kept in the kidnappers’ camp for two days before he was rescued by the police. Abdulmajid also disclosed that the Command recovered a one-year-old baby who was stolen from her mother during a church programme at Nnempi, Oru West Local Government Area of the state. He said that the stolen baby was eventually recovered at St. Gregory’s Catholic Church, Amaigbo in Nwangele Local Government Area, where she was abandoned.

ReplyDeleteProtecting your loved ones from this incident would really be tough. As a parent, I find it very hard to secure the safety of my children. I am a father of two lovely daughters. Both go to high school. I can't be with them every single time. Me and my wife go to work everyday. It's hard to be certain about their whereabouts and situation. Good thing I discovered this amazing application installed on my children's phones. It has a panic button that my children will press in case of an emergency. As simple as that it will automatically be connected to a 24/7 Response center and if needed, your call can be escalated to the nearest 911 Station. Me, along with my wife and close friends as my children's safety network, will be notified also through text message or a conference call. I worry less. This can help you too.
