I’m not a kidnapper, I’m just an armed robber — Suspect
A suspected notorious Abuja kidnapper, Chinaza Philip-Okoye, has claimed that he’s an armed robber and not a kidnapper.
Chinaza was arrested by the police in Kaduna on Thursday, January 18, 2024.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, January 24, 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 suspect was arrested by a combined team of FCT and Kaduna police officers in Kaduna on Thursday when the police swooped in on him and his gang members (now at large).
