Two kidnappers have confessed to kidnapping and selling children after being nabbed by operatives of the Special Squad Aguiyi, Anambra State.
The kidnappers, identified as Chukwuma Okonkwo and Ifeanyi Okafor (aka Arab), both from Abagana in Anambra State, said they get commission from the sale of the children and they use the money to lodge in hotels and live large, causing people to think they are into fraud (Yahoo Yahoo).
One of their v!ctims, a child who looks less than 5 years old, identified himself as Chinemerem. He said he was in his parent’s shop when the men k!dnapped him. He added that the men were about to sell him before men with guns (the special squad) caught them.
An official of the special squad asked the child what he wants done to the criminals and the child responded, “flog them.”
Confessing to the crimes on video, Chukwuma said: “We steal children and sell. There are three of us.
“One of our gang members is Chikwado from Ogidi, with Arab, and me (both from Abagana).”
Speaking on how they operate, Chukwuma said: “We kidnap a child and they give us commission after selling the child.
“We also steal machine (motorcycle) and sell.”
He continued: “People think we are into Yahoo but we are not.
“But there is no other crime we don’t commit.
“My main job is k!dnapping children. I also steal in addition to it.
“Our gang leader is Chikwado from Ogidi. Chikwado’s wife is also involved. She’s from Awkuzu.”
