TWO SISTERS ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING OWN MOTHER, PARADED BY POLICE IN ENUGU

STAGE MANAGED KIDNAPP FOILED BY POLICE 

By: Chinedu Obiakor   The Enugu state Command of the Nigeria Police Force has paraded two sisters who have been accused of stage-managing the kidnap of their own mother.

The siblings were alleged to have master-minded the kidnap and subsequent demand of a N2.5m ransom from their elder brother were among other criminals  paraded following their arrest by the Enugu state Police Command recently.

NAIJ NEWS ALERT investigations revealed that they were arrested alongside one of the boyfriends to the sisters.

According to the Enugu state Commissioner of Police, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu while parading the two ladies told journalists that “the suspects were arrested on different dates in connection with the purported kidnapping of one Mrs. Hannah Achime.

“The arrest one Monday Egbe, aged 30 years led to the confession of how the two daughters of the victim, Onyinyechi Achime and Akunna Achime invited him to the business to enable them collect money from one Mr. Eric Achime, their elder brother who is based in Lagos state.

“A ransom of N2.5million naira was demanded, while N500, 000.00 was agreed to be paid, though nothing was paid. All the suspects have confessed to the crime”.

Speaking with newsmen, the two sisters claimed to have executed the crime as a last measure towards raising money for their mother’s medical treatment.

According to one of the suspects, a graduate of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, who was to go for the National Youths Service Corps, by end of this month said; “we have been begging our brother to bring money for our mother’s eye treatment but he refused”.

“The eye problem became so much and we had no option; we decided to do that in order to raise money. We took her to a hotel at the Camp and paid for a room there”, she narrated.

Pressed further, she disclosed that; “I brought my friend and he helped us in arranging the kidnap. He was the one calling our brother, but he refused to bring money. He said the kidnappers can eat her if they liked. We didn’t hurt her at all.
It was all for our mum’s good, though we didn’t tell her”

“She got to know later, and she has been begging the police to drop the case. As we speak her medical condition is even getting worse.”

Also paraded are MacDaniel Ugwu and Odo Igbonasu who allegedly kidnapped 9-year-old Samuel Kelechukwu Ude while two other members of their group are still at large.
