The kidnap kingpin was arrested at Ogbe-Isoko community when he went to collect an additional ransom of N50,000 from the victim’s relatives, having collected N250,000 initially.
The Delta state Commissioner of Police, Zanna Ibrahim, paraded the suspect alongside 22 suspected kidnappers at the command headquarters in Asaba yesterday.
Ibrahim said the kidnapping syndicate had terrorised Ozoro and its environs for years.
However, the Italian suspect who confessed to be a member of the kidnapping syndicate on interrogation added that he was co-opted under duress after he was duped of N600,000.
He said, “They forced me to become their member, if I must get back my money. My desperation to recover my money from them has landed me in this mess.
Fernando has a Nigerian mother from Isoko while his father was an Italian.
