Ifeanyi and Obinna, aged 44 and 33 respectively, were arrested by the State
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), led by Supol James Nwafor, after they were
implicated in the alleged abduction of their father, Chief Mike Onwukamuche.
The two sons were said to have demanded for N5
million ransom from their father. According to investigation, the 74-year-old
victim was abducted in Ojota and taken to Obosi and was allegedly held hostage
for one week by the suspects. Nawaooo! Only in Nigeria... Read more after the cut...
Both Ifeanyi, who was the victim’s heir and his
younger brother, Obinna, according to investigation decided to kidnap their
father because he did not give them money to support the upkeep of their
families when they requested.
The two alleged evil brothers were unmasked by their
younger brother, Dr Emeka, who suspected a foul play when their father suddenly
disappeared. The younger brother suspected that his elder brothers must be
connected with their father’s disappearance. He followed up his suspicion with
lodging a formal complaints with the SARS whose operatives swung into action
immediately and effected the arrest of Ifeanyi and Obinna and their friend, who
owns the house where the victim was held hostage.
Ifeanyi explained his role to CrimeWatch: “ I am the
first son of my father, Chief Mike Onwukamuche and I have to kidnap my father.
I am a businessman, I travelled to Thailand and I was dealing on drugs before I
was deported. In November 2012. I told my father that I was handicapped and
that I needed some money to start a business. But despite the fact that my
family was suffering he kept on promising and I have no means of livelihood. I
organized with my younger brother, Obinna, who was in the same situation and we
arranged with my friends to kidnap him.
“The four-man gang of kidnappers including Obinna
participated and kidnapped my father from Ojoto and took him to Obosi, and kept
him in my friend’s house for one week.” “We demanded N5million from my father.
My father is a businessman and he sells baby wears at Onitsha and he has a lot
of landed property in Onitsha. But he refused to assist us. It was my junior
brother, Dr Emeka who reported to the police that our father had disappeared
and reported the case to the police and we were arrested”. Another suspect,
Obinna explained his role: “I followed the kidnappers to kidnap my father.
I asked my father to give me money to start another
business because my business was not doing well. My father has enough landed
property in Onitsha. “I asked him to give me N3m to start another business but
he refused. We arranged with my elder brother, Ifeanyi and other kidnappers and
kidnapped my father and kept him in one of the kidnappers’ house. My father
spent one week with the kidnappers but my father didn’t know that I was part of
those who kidnapped him.”
The Onwukamuches hail from Idemili Local Government
Area of Anambra State. Obinna said: “We
haven’t collect the money (ransom) but we were about collecting it when men of
the SARS arrested us.” Another suspect, Obi told CrimeWatch that they the
victim. We carried out the kidnapping with Obinna, his son who was my friend
and took him to my own house where he spent one week there. “We demanded N5million
from him before the SARS came and rounded us up,” he said.
The Anambra state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ballah
Nasarawa told CrimeWatch that it was one of the victim’ children, Dr Emeka
Onwukamuche who came to report to SARS and his brothers, Ifeanyi and Obinna who
confessed to have kidnapped their father before the father was released from
where he was kept. CP Nasarawa explained that they demanded for N5million and
Chief Mike Onwukamuche couldn’t believe that his sons were the architects of his
abduction until when the two sons confessed to him that they were the one who
masterminded his kidnapping
The victim expressed shock about the incident, “ I
couldn’t believe it that my own first son could arranged with his younger
brother to kidnap me because they wanted me to give them money to start
business. They were requesting for N3m to start another business. I promised to
give them but that they should be patient. I sent Ifeanyi abroad but when he
got there he sold drugs and he was deported back home. Obinna was given money
to do business but he squandered the money and requested for another N3m. I
promised to give them the money but that they should give me more time.”
He said that it was his junior son; Dr Emeka who
came to his rescue by reporting the case to SARS in Awka when he saw that I had
disappeared from the house. He said that he has disowned the two sons and said
they should not come back to him and that they should face the consequence of
their action. CP Nasarawa said that the three suspects would soon be charge to
court.’
