A suspected member of a kidnap gang, Bello Mohammed, has been held for the abduction and killing of a businessman, one Osondu Nwachukwu, who operated a sachet water factory in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

Mohammed and four other members at large identified simply as Maikano, Dogo, Hassan and Jubril reportedly carried out the act.

He was arrested on March 11 by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team after the case was reported to the police.

City Round learnt that the gang kidnapped Nwachukwu from his house and contacted his wife to pay N5m ransom.

The wife reportedly appealed to them to collect N40,000 and was told to drop the money at a designated point in the bush.

“Before she could deliver it, they butchered her husband and put his corpse in a sack,” a police source said.

The suspects were about to dispose of the remains in a bush in the Bukan Koto area along Makurdi Maraba-Ankunza road when some men, who were going to a mosque to pray, saw them conveying the sack in a wheelbarrow.

They reportedly abandoned the sack and ran away when the worshippers, who were suspicious of the gang, demanded to know the content.

The source added, “They saw the corpse of the victim and reported the matter to the police. Acting on credible intelligence, detectives were able to arrest one Bello Mohammed, a native of Lafia Local Government Area, Nasarawa. He confessed to the crime and said that he is part of a kidnapping and cattle rustling gang.”

Mohammed, 37, a farmer married with two wives and eight children, said his brother-in-law, Dogo, persuaded him to join the kidnap gang when he (Mohammed) complained that things were hard for him.

He explained that an unnamed Igbo man in Lafia contracted the gang to kidnap Nwachukwu.

Mohammed stated, “He told us that the man owned sachet water business but was stingy. He assured us that the man would pay at least N10m because he was rich. He gave us all the details about his movement and advised that the best place to abduct him was his house.

“We went into his house on three motorbikes around 8.30pm and loitered around his compound. Meanwhile one of us waited for him at the factory area and followed him home. It was the gang member who alerted us that they were on the way to the house.

“As soon as he drove into his compound around 9pm, we followed and overpowered him. We searched his house for valuables and dragged him along. We carried him on our bikes and threatened to kill him if he raised the alarm. When we got to a spot, we stopped and trekked for hours into Bukan Koto forest in Lafia.”

He said while at their camp, the mastermind phoned in and they told him Nwachukwu’s wife said the family could not raise the N10m ransom.

The suspect stated, “He said the wife was lying and not serious to save the life of her husband. Unfortunately, the man overheard our conversation and was able to identify the person that gave us the job. The man told us to kill him after collecting the money.

“We were ready to spare him but his wife was not making any serious effort. So Dogo got angry and said that he was no longer interested in the job. He used his machete to cut off the man’s head.”

“Dogo butchered him and packed his remains in a sack. Two other members of the gang and I were given the body to dispose of it at the nearest river. We used a wheelbarrow to carry the butchered body but we were stopped by some Fulani men returning from the mosque. We all left the corpse and ran away. I guess they were the ones who reported the matter to the police.”

The deceased’s wife, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said she was at home with her husband and their children on November 30, 2019 when the kidnappers struck and abducted him.

The mother of six stated that later she received a call from the kidnappers, demanding N40m ransom from her if “I want to see my husband alive.”

She said, “I pleaded with them to have mercy as it was Friday and banks had closed. They asked me how much I had and I told them N40,000. They asked me to bring the money which I did that night.

“I was waiting for them when I received a call that I should not bother again because my husband is dead. I was told that the person that arranged his abduction is from the East but I did not suspect anyone at all. God will punish the person behind his kidnapping and death.”

These terrorists and Thier cruel vicious religion.

Always thinking of the slightest opportunity to decapitate "kafir" with cutlass.

They kidnapped the man, drove away with okada, and trekked for miles into the forest.
They killed and butchered the man inside the forest.
Then carried the remains in a wheelbarrow into town where some good Fulani men going to mosque in the morning saw them.
I guess this is before dawn, but the Fulani men still recognized them!!!

Evil that men do.

So even after arrest and grilling by police, the supposed 'mastermind from the east' remained unnamed? He came to u guys with the victims info, so u knew each other, not like he met some random people to carry out a kidnap. And what about his phone number?
And after trekking for long in the bush, u still carried the butchered corpse in wheel barrow out of the bush?
The story get plenty k leg abeg.

Is the wife part of them?

Fulani man did a good act this time...

PlayerMeji:

PlayerMeji:

which good act they are all the same, calling another igbo man is looking for soft landing.

Some men, who were going to a mosque to pray, saw them conveying the sack in a wheelbarrow.

This is how 95% of crimes in saner climes have been solved.
If you see something, say something.
Criminals, kidnappers, terrorists are not spirits or ghost.

They live among you.
Report them to the authorities before they turn on your fathers and mothers, Uncles and Aunts.
Report them before they cause you everlasting sorrow and tears.
And the case turns to "Had I know!".

Again,
If you see something, say something.

We Rise!

time for me to japa to iraq

Very ambiguous story!

Was a man kidnapped and killed?
Yes.
Kidnapped with a bike?
Okay, but still suspicious.
Trekked for "hours" into the bush with a kidnapped man?
Doubtable.
Killed a man in a forest and still carried his body out of the forest in a wheelbarrow?
Hmmm. What for? Doubtable too.

And to top it all off, Fulani men (on the way to the mosque to pray), intercepted the criminals.?
What a way to make fulani moslems look good.

And yes, an Igbo man (now at large) somehow had to be fingered as part of the crime?
Of course!

Well done, police investigators!

Crazy times we live in. Really crazy times. I don't blame those who have committed suicide to get out of this sick world quicker.

Trash

Pure water factory is not so lucrative, too much running cost and overhead cost, with little profit after tax

They thought he is making millions daily, unfutunately for him, after paying for rolls of nylon, printer, diesel , bank loan, and staff wages his income shrinks

.

Devil dey learn work from where some human beings dey.

You dey demand for ransome asif you gave her money to keep for you.

@ quoted text.. jealousy kills faster than rodenticide...the unnamed man should be brought to book asap

This country na, dun turn something else o. Legit hustle full town but you guys choose crime. Abeg no need to do the time. Just kill them.

Quite sad

Crazy

Evil clowns they don't know a whole Dyna if pure water no reach 20k

2aces:
It's a known fact that Igbos are never their brothers keeper, things like this happen more often abroad among Igbo hustlers. Envy and jealousy is always inherent when one is doing better than others, not minding what the poor man has been through to make his money.

U just exposed your cockroach mind that can't figure out what is true or lie, why can't they mention the alleged igbo man that betrayed his brother since they have arrested the culprits.

What I don't get is that the man was abducted November 2019 and we are getting this gist now.

This is pure wickedness
