“My boss (Azu) brought the guns and we went along to kidnap the victim. My boss drove the man to an undisclosed place in the man's jeep while I followed in another car.Continue after the break.
“It was when my boss returned to Lagos he gave me the victim's vehicle to sell to Arinze.Arinze gave me N50,000 and I handed it to my boss. My boss then gave me N30,000.”
This is actually the confession of certainly one of Azu's apprentice, while owning around the crime. He confirmed so it was him and Azu that executed the kidnapping. But Azu is crying and denying.
Men of the Lagos State Police Command recently smashed a kidnapping syndicate in the Okokomaiko area of their state led by popular Alaba Market big boy, Azu.
Police authorities gave the names of the suspects as:
Azuoma Nwabugoh, Chimobi Onuoha, Moses Okoh, Nwachukwu Nwandike and Michael Arinze.
The suspects were arrested after policemen mounted on Ilemba Hausa Division recovered a vehicle belonging to a kidnap victim, Obinna Okpara, who was locked in the toilet for over 1 week.After kidnapping the victim, Azu and his boys allegedly sold the vehicle to at least one Michael Arinze.
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said:
“On August 8, 2013, around 8.45pm, one Obinna Okpara was kidnapped in front of his house at Awka in Anambra State. He was launched on September 9, 2013, after a ransom was paid.
“His vehicle was, however, traced to the home of just one Michael Arinze at Etegbin Road, Ajangbadi, Lagos. Upon interrogation, Arinze said he bought the automobile from among the suspects.
“He said the automobile, a black Toyota RAV4 with registration number, ABN 42 AA, was sold to him for N800,000, adding that he paid N50,000 as down payment.”
Azu and his boy have now been utilized in SARS. But Azu is claiming innocence, saying police should allow him go back to his pregnant wife and three children.
“All these allegations against me are false. I don't know the victim. I am a trader at Alaba Market and most of the suspects you see are my apprentices,” he explained
