According to Ojukwu “the suspects were arrested on a different date in connection with the purported kidnapping of one Mrs. Hannah Achime.
“Ransom of N2.5 million naira was demanded, while N500,000.00 was agreed to be paid, though nothing was paid. Suspects all confessed to the crime.”
While being interviewed by journalists, the two ladies claimed to have executed the crime as a last measure towards raising money for their mother’s medical treatment.
One of the suspects, a graduate of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, who was to go for the National Youths Service Corps, by end of this month said “we have been begging our brother to bring money for our mother’s eye treatment but he refused.
“I brought my friend and he helped us in arranging the kidnap. He was the one calling our brother, but he refused to bring money; he said the kidnappers can eat her if they liked. We didn’t hurt her at all; it was all for our mum’s good, though we didn’t tell her.
“She got to know later, and she has been begging the police to drop the case. As we speak her medical condition is even getting worse.”
Also paraded are Macdaniel Ugwu and Odo Igbonasu, as well as two others at large, who allegedly kidnapped 9-year-old Samuel Kelechukwu Ude.
