Kidnappers in the university town of Nsukka in Enugu state seem not in a hurry to dump their filthy lucre despite the efforts of the state Police Command to run them out of town. Apparently calling the bluff of law enforcement agents and playing the lords of the town and its environs, the hoodlums have formed an association.

The body known as Association of Kidnappers of Nsukka (AKN) made its debut in the town recently. Checks by Sunday Sun reporter revealed that although it operates in secrecy, the group has started pasting notices on building walls ordering residents to pay huge ransoms or get ready to be attacked.

A resident, Ekene Ugwu, said they pasted one of such notices in the neighbourhood around Ibagwa road and people were panicky. He said that some residents including lawyers in the area have notified the police and taken precautionary security measures. But the Enugu State police command has told residents to go about their daily businesses as the police were handling the situation.

The police spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu told Sunday Sun on phone that the police had picked the telephone numbers dropped by the author of the letters in various homes, for further investigation. Meanwhile, five persons suspected to be the masterminds of kidnappings in Nsukka zone have been arrested. They were identified as Obinna Nnonyelum a.k.a Biggy, Ikechukwu Jude Ezeah alias Alhaji, Jonas Eke, Kelechi Udagha and Ifeanyi Hyginus Ede. The first suspect, Obinna was allleged to have told his police interrogators that he hails from Amawbia in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State and that his first criminal outing was the kidnap of a woman from Obollo Afor

. Though he said he could not remember the date of the kidnap, the suspect allegedly told the police that he and those he identified as Sky B who was their driver, Gago, Alhaji and Jonas alias Pajoe, took part in the crime. He said that the N1.5 million paid as ransom was collected at Umuokpu Awka in Anambra state and that he made the phone calls and gave directives until it was collected. Obinna was also said to have confessed that the gang kidnapped Rev. Fr. Chijioke Amoke, a Catholic priest in Nsukka Diocese and a herbalist, Rowland Iyida alias Ojenamuo on November 2, 2011. The herbalist and a police corporal, Sunday Elisha, attached to Ogrute police station, later died while the kidnappers were escaping with their victims. Police sources told Sunday Sun that the suspects would soon be charged to court.

In a country that is badly governed, wealth is something to be feared because it will predictably promote rebellion, revolution and even kidnapping by the oppressed and downtrodden.

AKN may turn out to be south east equivalent of boko haram. AKN looks like a joke now, boko haram started and continued for eight years as a peaceful organisation till 2009 when they took up arms. Let us see how serious govt is about security in the way it handles this new set of terrorists.

Not in our character. Plsease Chime flush this AKN (Association of kidnappers of Nigeria) out

Don't you just love Nigerian police?

Investigate further and you will some handwriting on the wall - they're the ones supporting this. Who in their bold mind will start up some sh.it like this without having appropriate and adequate resource?

This nsukka is trying too hard to give enugu a bad name,husband kill wife, masquerade rape women,family poisoned,boko haram hunter, nsukka ala nuooooo

na only for ibo land si kind tin dey happen

Believe this you will believe anything.
Sun news online 'nuff said

nigerians love lies and reject the truth. how true or believable is this shït

Can this country rot any further? Hope the story is false cos For those kidnappers to have taken such bold move, they must have serious backing from law enforcement officials. Registered kidnappers ke? It is well with this country

eaglechild: Why should this crap be on the frontpage?

And why not? Your brothers have taken their brigandage to another level and you don't want the world to know. Your land lies is infested with extreme criminality and you sit down in Lagos talking crap. It's amazing that up till now, ohaneze has not made a single pronouncement on this extremely negative tendency of the ibo to make money out of the pains of their kith.continue to hide your head in the sand spuriously claiming 99% of Lagos and 101% of Abuja yet unable to go home for Xmas..pathetic lot

Se no b nja?
Dey want dialogue or amnesty.
Dey wil soon chose a venue for dialogue ,probably,pick a mediator.
Evrytin is possible
