Man in police net for kidnapping his girlfriend

kidnapping his girlfriend

A 25-year old man, Ekuase Sunday, who masterminded the ab­
duction of his girlfriend, is now in police custody.
Sunday told journalists that his decision to arrange the
kidnapping of the victim was induced by his friend, Amas, who
strongly suggested that he should teach her a bitter lesson.
Sunday who was paraded along with other suspects for
various crimes by the Edo State Police Command, said he was
shocked and hurt when the girl told him that their relationship
was over.
His words: “Amas said it would be unfair for the girl to break
with me. We agreed that we would take the girl for four days
so that she would learn a lesson. I went to their house and
was told four guys came to take her away. I went to the fam­
ily house and I was arrested and up till now I have not seen
Amas.”
Others paraded for kidnapping included one Theophilus Agoro
whose gang was paid N400,000 as ransom by the family of
the victim.
Also paraded by the police was a farmer identified as Obozoke
who killed one Omoniyi Oguare he caught harvesting his
cocoa pods. The suspect reportedly killed his victim with a cut­
lass during a fight.
The State Police commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo, while
parading the suspects, announced the end of his stay in the
state.
The parade of suspects was like a valedictory session for the
Commissioner of Police who is heading to the National
Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS).
Adebanjo happily noted that no bank robbery was witnessed
during his time as the police boss in Edo State even as he
said that kidnapping and other criminal activities were
reduced to the barest minimum.
