    JSF storms kidnapper’s den, rescues victim in Anambra

    Following a threat from the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) Anambra State chapter on Monday over the kidnapping of one of its members, the Joint Security Forces (JSF), have successfully dismantled the criminals’ hideout and rescued the victim.

    Although the victim’s identity has not been disclosed by authorities, some residents told The Nation that the security operatives were incompetent.

    The rescue operation, according to police spokesman, Tochukwu Ikenga, was prompted by a confession from one of the suspects arrested weeks earlier.

    The JSF, which includes police, military, and vigilante groups, carried out the operation in response to the kidnapping of a medical doctor in Ihiala local government area last weekend.

    The NMA had threatened to halt services in the state if the doctor was not rescued.

    Ikenga said: “In an ongoing operation in Ihaila, a combined team of Police, Military, and AVG operatives busted a criminal den at UMUDURU, IHIALA, and rescued a kidnap victim unhurt.

    “The feat is following an arrest of a suspect name (withheld) a few weeks ago and his confession of being a member of a criminal/notorious kidnap gang terrorising the State, especially in Ihiala. The rescued victim has been debriefed and released to the family, while Operations are still ongoing.”

    He added that further updates would be provided to the public in due course.

    The kidnapping of the private medical practitioner has escalated tensions in the state, which has been grappling with a surge in kidnappings over the past three months.

    While opposition parties hold state Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo responsible, some residents are accusing security operatives of being involved in the recent wave of kidnappings.

    Suspected notorious Abuja kidnapper, Chinaza Philip-Okoye, has claimed that he’s an armed robber and not a kidnapper.

    Chinaza claimed during an interview with reporters on Wednesday during a parade of criminal suspects at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Police command.

    He narrated the incident that led to his arrest by the police while noting his connection with other members of the gang who are still at large.

    He said: “I want to categorically state that I’m not a kidnapper, I am not a kidnapper. We only patrol at night and collect cars, and we take them to Kano for sale.

    “That night, our aim was to rob the man and take his car, but I was surprised that after we collected his car, yellow who is like our leader, asked the man to enter the back of the car. I didn’t know why he did that, and I couldn’t argue with him, so we were driving to Kano before the police caught up with us in Kaduna where I was arrested.”

    The Nigeria Police Force had on Saturday, paraded Chinaza Philip-Okoye on a stretcher at the Force Intelligence Response Team base, Guzape, Federal Capital Territory.

    It was gathered that the suspect sustained serious injuries after he was shot by police officers following the interception of his gang at a fueling station on Thursday night.

    “The suspects however ran out of luck as they were intercepted by Police operatives at a filling station in Kaduna where three of them escaped, while one by the name Chinaza Philip Okoye Michael was arrested, the victim rescued unhurt, and the said Hilux Van recovered. It was discovered that Chinaza Philip Okoye Michael and his accomplices had earlier been arrested sometime in November 2023 and charged for similar offences, at the High Court, Kwali, Abuja, but went back to committing even worse crimes while on court bail.”

    My ordeal in Anambra kidnapper’s den, freed victim narrates

    A middle-aged man recently freed by his kidnappers in Umunze town in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra state has described the community as an enclave of kidnappers.

    The victim (names withheld), a native of Aguleri, Anambra East Local Government Area of the State, who spent four days in the kidnappers’ den, said he was returning from Onitsha when he was abducted on November 4.

    Narrating his ordeal, the victim said he was kept inside a bush between Anambra and Imo states for those days before regaining his freedom after a total sum of N6.3m was paid.

    He said: “I drove into Highway Petrol Station at the toll gate area of Onitsha when a white Mercedes Benz GLK double-crossed me and forced me into the back seat of my car.

    “They were 5 armed men, equipped with sophisticated AK-47 riffles; they dressed in police official jackets.

    “When the armed men discovered there was no fuel in my 330 Lexus SUV, they commanded the fuel attendants to fill up the tank and in the process, another RX 330 also drove in to buy fuel.

    “They also commanded the driver to join him in his own car while they abandoned the Mercedes GLK that conveyed them to the filling station.

    “They blindfolded two of us and commanded us to face down and zoomed off. They drove us from the Tollgate junction down to Umunze in Orumba. About 3 hour’s journey.

    “No police stopped them in the 3-hour journey, although we were blindfolded. I couldn’t tell if they drove through security checkpoints.

    “They told us that we were at the headquarters of ESN in Umunze.

    “My family said that even when they reported to the Police, they tracked my vehicle, and a moment it read Umunze, the police said, ‘it’s a no-go area ooo na headquarters of ESN’.

    “They demanded 10 drums of bullets from us, which they said the cost was N1,650,000 each. Total of N16.5m, or 4 Ak47.

    “When they saw over N4.5m in my bank accounts, they reduced their punishment and began to withdraw the money with a POS machine.

    “They demanded for more money and my family transferred an extra N1.8, making it a total amount of over N6.3m.

    “They are fully in charge of the whole Umunze community. People come to the bush to lodge complaints and they settle cases.

    “Nobody dares invite the police to the community. In fact, we were there when a palm wine tapper passed and they exchanged pleasantries.

    “The palm wine tapper even asked about their commander.”

    The victim who revealed his phones and car were seized before his release, thanked those who assisted in raising the ransom for his freedom.

    “When they were releasing us, they seized my mobile phones and my car and told me that I should write my phone number on the car carpet, that they would later dump it somewhere the way they dumped the GLK.

    “They said that the phone number I wrote on the car mat would be used to contact me by people wherever they dump the car and I obeyed them.

    “When they were leading us to the main road after our release, they showed us some burnt vehicles and said they snatched them from military and police.

    “We were only two victims in the camp. Their boss usually comes to the camp with a bike. He doesn’t stay too long with them. Even the villagers respect him.”

  • How I became billionaire kidnapper E-Money’s counsellor —Arrested Malaysian returnee

    Malaysia returnee has admitted that he advised suspected kidnapper, Collins Ezenwa a.k.a. E-money, who was killed during a shootout with the police in Imo State recently, to quit his police job and leave the country when he (E-money) ventured into kidnapping.

    Thirty-seven-year-old Uche Obi, while narrating his relationship with the deceased suspected kidnapper, said he first met E-money in Mbaiese area of Imo State in 2017 while the latter was still serving as a policeman.

    He said that he became friends with E-money after he (E-money) begged him for money.

    Obi said: “I met him at a police checkpoint in Mbaise while I was on my way to my village in Mbano and we became friends. E-money had no car at that time so he was always making use of my car. All of a sudden, I got a call from him to come to his house.

    On getting there, I discovered that he had dollars everywhere. “I asked him how he got the money and he told me that he got it from a woman who came to complain about a case in his police station and his team made away with the money found in the woman’s bag.

    I then advised him to leave the country and stay in Malaysia for two years so that by the time he returned, no one would know how he made his money.  “Before he took the trip, E-money buried a huge sum of money in dollars in Owerri, and his sister, Lillian, was the only person who knew where the money was kept.

    While he was away, his sister called his brothers and they took some of the money and shared it among themselves. They started buying cars and landed properties. “When he heard about it, he rushed back to the country. He took the properties and started spending the rest of the money. He also bought several buildings and cars in Owerri, and each time it seemed like the money was going down, he would take a trip and return with more money.

    “I didn’t know where he was getting the money from because whenever he wanted to make a call, he would ask me to leave. “I had a quarrel with him before he died, and this was because I kept advising him to control himself and stop being boastful.” Obi further said that after E-money was killed and operatives of the Inspector General of Police, Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT) took over the investigation, his phone number was tracked and that led to his arrest.

    While Obi was arrested for being a member of E-money’s robbery gang, he insisted that he was only a friend to the deceased suspected kidnapper.

    He said: “I told them (police) that I was just a friend, but our relationship went sour because I was always advising him. I told them that while we were friends, E-money never allowed me to come close to him enough to know the source of his income. And whenever he wanted to have any serious business discussion, he would ask me to leave.

    “I told them that the two guys who were killed alongside E-money were known to me but I didn’t know what they were all doing. I told IRT operatives that I was not surprised when the Imo State Police Command identified them as a gang of kidnappers because E-money’s movements were highly suspicious.

    “When the IRT people arrested and questioned me, I told them all I knew about E-money, including going with him when he bought his first building. But since I did that, his family has been against me. I have been receiving threat calls from phone numbers I don’t know.

    The callers are telling me that they are angry that I showed the police the location of the building in Owerri. But I had no option than to do what I did.” Obi said his return from Malaysia to Nigeria and his subsequent arrest was occasioned by some issues he had with members of his family.

    He said: “My wife took everything I have; that is why I came back to Nigeria. I met E-money when I returned to Nigeria from Mayalsia and I wanted to invest the money I made, and I came with members of my family who were living with me. “The business I came for did not work out well and things did not work the way I wanted. Then my wife sold my SUV and some other property and made away with the proceeds to Cambodia. “I met E-money when I  was

    driving to my village and he was a policeman on checkpoint in Mbaiese area of Imo State. He stopped me and asked me to give him some money, but I told him that I didn’t have any money with me. We exchanged numbers and became friends.

    “He had no vehicle then, so he used to drive my car. Later that year, my wife made away with my property and I became helpless. Then he called me to come to his house, and when I got there, I saw dollars everywhere. His brother was also carrying dollars.

    “I asked him how he got the money and he said he and his team arrested a woman that had a box full of dollars. He said he and his team stole the money and shared it among themselves.

    “He told me that the one I saw was his share. I then advised him to travel out of the country and stay for two years so that when he returned, everyone would think that he made his money abroad. He took my advice and left the area for three weeks. He later showed up again and started buying properties.

    “We started sleeping in hotels. I was always going with him to buy some of the properties. He does not know how to calculate money in dollars, I was always there with him whenever he was buying any of his properties.

    “Sometimes when we were in the hotel, he would leave us without telling anyone where he was going to only to return in the morning. He did this whenever the money he had with him had gone down.

    “Along the line, I started advising him to stop bragging about the money that he had, because whenever we were in a hotel, he would threaten the owners that he wanted to buy the hotel.

    “He had two wives but one of them did not live with him. He kept his cars for the brothers of his second wife.

    “I didn’t benefit anything from him. All I got was just the drinks he was buying for me. We were moving round the hotels in Enugu, Aba, Owerri and Port Harcourt. I was the person who followed him to buy the hotel in Enugu for N220 million.

    “He changed his phone number whenever he felt he was receiving too many calls on any line.    He was about opening a bureau de change firm when he asked me not to come close to him again.

    “Before he was killed, he called me. So, after he died, I switched off my phone because I feared that the police would be looking for me. I called my pastor and he prayed and said that nothing would happen to me since my hands were clean.”
