The Rivers State Police Command has arrested two suspected members of a six-man kidnapping gang, following the abduction of a man in Port Harcourt. The suspects, Victor Ifeanyi and Aniekan Okon Michael, allegedly abducted their victim, Hassan, from Fidelity Bank in Garrison, Port Harcourt, and held him captive for three days before his family paid a N10.3 million ransom for his release.
The information leading to their arrest came from credible intelligence received by the command's Violent Crime Response Unit. The suspects, Victor Ifeanyi, 24, and Aniekan Okon Michael, 36, confessed to their involvement in the kidnapping and revealed that the gang had six members. They also told investigators that the gang used a white mini-bus, known as a Keke bus, during the operation.
The Police Commissioner of Rivers State, CP Olugbenga Adewole Adepoju, urged the public to provide information that could help apprehend the remaining members of the syndicate.
