Men of the Department of State Security (DSS) in Edo State have nabbed six suspected involved in the kidnap of a former Local Government Chairman in the state, Mr. Anselm Adima.
The suspects were also said to be involved in the kidnap of a woman who was raped in the presence of her daughter, with the pictures of the act taken. The daughter who was also a victim of the kidnappers was however said to have been spared the trauma of the kidnappers’ raging libido.
Another suspect was said to have been a fraudster who impersonates the Chief of Air Staff , to hoodwink his unsuspecting victims.
Parading the suspects before Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Wednesday, Director of the state command of the State Security Service (SSS), Mr. Bello Bakori said, “this group of criminals here paraded are those involved in fraud, kidnapping, car snatching and robbery.
He said: “the group was involved in the kidnapping of the former Transitional Committee Chairman of Esan North East Local Government Area, Mr. Anselm Adima where the sum of N3 million was paid as ransom.
“One of these boys is a notorious fraudster who goes about swindling members of the public and even impersonating the Chief of Air Staff. We have this one, Isaac Ogun collecting money from the public using the name of one Mr. Balogun and just recently, many cases have been established against him in Jos and other places and luckily he was arrested recently based on a complaint from the Airforce that someone is going about impersonating the Chief of Air Staff.”
The SSS Director further said, “Prince Nwanze, Osagie Oriarevbu, Oziegbe Akhimien, Kenneth Okosun, Ehizojie Okha were involved in the kidnapping and snatching of a car belonging to a woman who was kidnapped along with her daughter at Uromi. The victim was not only kidnapped but raped by the suspects and the car later sold in Jos.”
While commending the SSS for a job well done, Governor Oshiomhole said, “these people we see here are very normal human beings. When people tell you their experiences, you think that they are people made in hell and listening to them, it is also clear that it is all about greed.
