A few weeks ago, some residents in Isheri area of Lagos State were kidnapped by hoodlums in their homes; Penultimate Thursday, the CBN Governors wife was abducted along Agbor road. Nigerians were yet to digest these kidnaps when news of the kidnap of two teachers and four students of Lagos Model College Igbonla Epe hit the news stand. These incidents necessitated the move by the House of Representatives recently urging the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency on kidnapping in Nigeria. This week, we look at the affront and sophistication of kidnapping in the country.

First suspect- Segun Agbi
I just got back from India where I went for treatment, and was broke as a result of the huge expenses I incurred. I started scouting for a job to make ends meet, but no success. I needed money to send my CV online and increase my chances of getting hired, so that was why I went into kidnapping.

2nd suspect- Chuks Ifeanyi

I wanted to opt out, I would have not done it, but I come
from a very poor family; my mum is a petty trader and
the breadwinner. My younger sister is anemic and
business had not been good for my mum. So I needed to
assist with the responsibilities at home, because things
were tough. That was how I got involved in kidnapping.

3rd suspect- Kolawole Aladi
I was disengaged from work, and a friend promised to help me find employment in his place of work. He asked if I could fix wires and electric cables and I concurred, he then asked me to pay ten thousand naira; I could not afford it and gave him five thousand instead. He deceived me and went away with the money, promising to get me the job when he got back. He came one fateful day and drove me and five others early one morning to Ajah area. On the way, he stopped the vehicle and they attacked someone on the road, I was wondering what was going on, so they kidnapped a man and drove very fast to a bush area, where we alighted. He asked us to look after the victim in the bush and went away. When he got back, he told me that I have found out their secret and that there was no going back, I had become a part of them that was how I started this crime.
DCP DON AWUNAH: "Ladies and gentlemen I have never seen this kind of cash in my life; this is fourteen million, seven hundred and twenty five thousand naira recovered from the suspects. We have three vehicles, two Honda cars and two Audi cars. The Audi was a getaway car used in carrying their loot and one AK47 rifle".

The title is misleading, as usual.
