The Lagos State
Police Command, yesterday, paraded three suspected members of a notorious
kidnap gang that killed former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chudi Nwike. They were picked up in
their den last year. Nwike was kidnapped on March 19, 2013 and a N30 million
ransom was demanded by his abductors who reportedly murdered him after taking
N5 million as ransom.
Why we killed former
Dep Gov— Suspect
Godspower Ovwigho,
27, told a bewildered crowd that his gang killed the former deputy governor
because his wife was heady.
According to him, “we
killed the deputy governor because his wife tried to prove difficult. We
demanded N30 million but they gave us only N5 million. After the payment, they
promised to give us more but did not. It was Rufus that shot him dead when the
wife refused to pay more. Rufus is our leader.
“We held him hostage
in a three-bedroom flat in Kokori town, in Delta State. When the negotiators
brought the money and Rufus discovered it was N5 million, he drove all of them
away. He, thereafter, charged into the bedroom where the deputy governor was
and told him that his wife was daring us.
“He called the
victim’s wife on the phone and asked why the money was slashed. She told him
that was all they were able to gather. Out of anger, he shot the former deputy
governor four times and called his wife again on the phone and told her to use
the balance to organize his burial.”
What a wicked world we live in!
