Operatives of the Inspector General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, led by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, have apprehended a seven-member notorious kidnapping gang that killed an American Soldier in Okigwe area of Imo State in 2017.

The deceased, a Nigerian who was serving in the US army and identified as Chuks Okebata, was holidaying in Okigwe when he was abducted and killed. Read initial story here.

The suspects, Sunday Igwe, alias School Boy, Michael Ahmefula, Oyebuchi Echefule, Ndubusi Isaac, Victor Dagogo, Chima Okoro and John Edet were arrested last week.

In their confessional statement to the police, the suspects admitted being members of a deadly armed robbery and kidnapping gang terrorizing Imo, Abia and Rivers States. Their leader, School-Boy, said that they never knew that the deceased was an American soldier and that they never planned to kill him.

“He tried to disarm me and in the process was killed. If we had not killed him, he would have killed us. He is strong with tough muscles and the only way to save our lives was to kill him.

We bundled him into the boot of our operational vehicle after he was kidnapped. We didn’t know who he was. While we were heading to our camp where we hope to keep him until ransom is paid. He pulled out his gun and started shooting at us from the boot and the bullet hit me on the leg and the driver on his hand.

Realizing the danger I asked our driver to stop the vehicle. As soon as the vehicle came to a halt we disarmed him. He was killed right there on the spot. We dumped his body inside a gutter and left. I want everyone to understand that I have no intention of killing him but he forced us into doing it,” he stated.

Nigerian police and confessions they will never produce any hard evidence. They will help you write statement and ask you to sign it or else they will travel you.
He would have killed the people at the back seat if he was shooting from the trunk. I dont believe this story.

Every meat is not for food. Some can send you to early grave.

These are all my street guys, Hunter, school boy, wetin happen na, na like this una goooo

I don’t believe he shot at them from the boot of the car, that would’ve been silly.

These guys can’t tell convincing lies.

fl@theads pigs.Tufia!

This doesn't sound right

Firstly he had a gun and allowed you kidnap him?

Okay he didn't wait till you opened the trunk then shoot you in the face , no instead he chose to blind fire from the locked trunk and ended up not making a kill?

Are you sure this person was a soldier ?

Just saying , sounds like he was wearing camouflage and claiming to be a soldier but he wasn't one.

The US army would have apprehended the person who killed their soldier long ago

How many times will they parade different people? How about the ones arrested in March 2017?

Respek sir..........he went down fighting like a true hero

.

Very Good DEVELOPMENT......

We Igbos just love killing our stars. That's how they killed a US doctor who came to his home town for medical outreach.

The most dangerous place for any Igbo man is the SE. If you're coming home, get at least 4 Mopol or soldiers to guard you.

Your family members and kinsmen telling you to come home would collect things from you and arrange kidnappers and robbers to collect the remaining.
