POLICE in Delta State have arrested four persons, including the manager of a hotel in Abraka, Ethiope-East Local Government Area and the elder brother of a 17-year-old kidnap victim, Henry Oke Dukuye, in connection with his (Henry) abduction, in Warri.
Henry was abducted, last Sunday, and, allegedly, taken to a hotel by a kidnap gang, including his brother, who is an undergraduate, while they demanded and collected ransom from his family. The victim’s father, Mr. Johnson Dukuye, reported the kidnapping of his son to the police, on Monday, and the Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad, SAKS, detailed an Assistant Superintendent of Police to handle the matter.
State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, told Sunday Vanguard, “It was an insider ‘s job, the victim ‘s elder brother, an undergraduate, was one of the suspected kidnappers arrested.”
According to him, “As soon as report was lodged with the police, the Government House Tracking Team was deployed to Warri and, at about 09.00 hours on July 19, the victim was rescued unhurt by the police through a bait of ransom.”
He gave the names of the suspects nabbed as Isaac, Kelvin, Blessing and Paul, adding that part of the ransom collected by the gang was recovered by the police.
