SSS Parades Kidnappers Of President Goodluck Jonathan's Uncle

The Department of State Services (DSS) yesterday, paraded six men alongside a security man for the abduction of an uncle to President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Nitabai Inengite, from his Otuoke home in Bayelsa State. Marilyn Ogar, the spokesperson of the service who briefed journalists while parading the
suspects, said the gang was apprehended after useful intelligence on their activities was provided by members of the public.
Chief Inengite, 65, was reportedly abducted on February 23, 2014, taken to the Creeks, held by his abductors for 17 days and was allegedly released later without ransom paid to his abductors, on March 12, 2014. She said investigation into the matter led to the arrest of Eldred Magnus Jonah, 30; Raphael Inengesi, 32; Ibeabuchi Inya, 29; Oreva Abridi, 29; Tammy Tamarapreye Agbai, 29 and a native doctor, Felix Onuoha, 48. They were arrested in Bayelsa, Edo and Delta states. When interrogated, they all denied collecting any ransom from the victim’s family.
She said, “Recall that on the February 23, 2014, about 9pm, Nitabai Inengite, an uncle to President Goodluck Jonathan, was kidnapped by unknown gunmen at Otuoke Community, in Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa State. 
“He was whisked away in an ash-coloured Honda Jeep to Onuegbu Waterside, from where he was transferred into a waiting speedboat and to the creek. He was held captive in two different locations; the creek of Brass, very close to the mouth of the Atlantic and Okigbene creeks.
“Eldred, a 400-level undergraduate of the University of Jos, masterminded the kidnapping adventure by providing the take-off grant of N40,000 for arms’ procurement and other logistics. The suspect confessed that he carried out surveillance on the victim, and that the operation was carried out by a gang of eight, five on land, and three in the waterside.
“Although Eldred confirmed that Tamarapreye, an unemployed accounting graduate from the University of Port Harcourt did not participate in the operation, his car was used for the land operation by one of them who collected the car on the excuse that he was attending a burial.
“The native doctor, Onuoha, prepared the “fortification, success and protection” charms for them because he feared if he did not, they would attack his family, but he agreed that they would part with 10 per cent of the ransom money when it is paid.”
