Police arrested kidnap suspect after he walked into station to reclaim vehicle

A kidnap suspect, Ojiedu Doctor, who had been on the wanted list of the Delta State Police Command, has been arrested as he walked into the Police Headquarters, Asaba, to reclaim a vehicle used for a kidnapping operation in 2016.

This story reminded us of the one about a Danish carrying rolls of drug who stopped and entered a police vehicle thinking it was a taxi.

The state’s Police Commissioner, Mr Zanna Ibrahim, disclosed that operatives of the Special Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber Crime Squad, SAKCCS, made the arrest on December 29, the Vanguard reports.

You know when your village people are at work karma catches up with you, the universe ain’t gonna be cooperative.

His words: “On September 19, 2016, a victim, Gbiyede Juliet, was kidnapped alongside her child, Tekevwe Gbiyede, aged nine, while driving her Venza car. Four suspects were then arrested and charged to court in connection with the crime.

“However, on December 29, 2017, the suspect, Ojigedu Doctor, was arrested in Asaba by SAKCCS operatives for his complicity in most kidnap cases in Warri and environs.

“He admitted that he gave N2,000 to the earlier arrested kidnappers to fuel Gbiyede Juliet’s Venza car for possible escape.

“The suspect evaded arrest in 2016 in connection with alleged kidnap case and abandoned his Toyota Camry with number plates JRT 528 GE, currently packed at the Police Station, Ebrumede.”

He probably thought the police would have forgotten the vehicle was used for crimes.
