The same gang of kidnappers that
kidnapped the mother of Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo Iweala has confessed to
killing a 72-year-old woman, Regina Obi, after collecting a ransom of N2m from
her family.
The suspects said that Obi was killed
because one of their gang members was killed during a gun duel with the police
some days earlier.
Onochie said, “After the first
operation in which I was not paid, they approached me again for another
operation and told me that they would pay me this time around. They said they
needed information about the family of Obi, who owns a big hotel in Delta
State.
“I traced the residence of their
mother and told them how they could kidnap her. She sells land so I told the
gang to tell her that they had a good deal and when she follows them to
conclude transactions, they should kidnap her.”
Marvelous said he was not around on
the day Obi was killed. He however said it was another gang member, Peter, that
pulled the trigger.
“We demanded N2m from the family and
they paid immediately. However, because Peter’s brother had been killed during
a police raid some days ago, he took the anger out on the old lady and killed
her. I did not kill anybody; I’m a kidnapper, not a murderer,” he said.
