...Arrests of
Kidnappers, Otasowie’s Murderers Justify Our Insistence on New CP, Says Obaseki
Less than
two weeks after the Manager of Ogba Zoo and Nature Gardens, Andy Ehanire who
spent almost three weeks with his kidnappers, was released, four of the
suspected kidnappers have been arrested by the police.
The
kidnappers killed three policemen on routine duty at the zoo. The suspects were
arrested in Sapele and the sum of N800, 000 was found with one of the wives of
the suspects.
The
kidnappers were said to have collected N61 million as ransom before Ehanire,
who is the younger brother of the minister of state for health was released.
They were said to have first collected N25 million and then another $1,000.
This
development was confirmed by the Edo State police spokesperson, Moses Nkombe,
who said the police is still on the trail of other fleeing suspects.
Narrating
how Ehanire was abducted, one of the suspected kidnappers whose recording at
the police station has gone viral said they earlier attempted to carry out the
abduction twice but were prevented by the presence of policemen.
He said it
was the third attempt that they shot the three policemen and took their target
away through the waterways.
