According to the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, “They work in conspiracy with kidnappers.

They are always in touch with kidnappers. Once they kidnap their victims and they are looking for where to send the ransom money to, they will contact this force man (pointing at one of the suspects) who contracts his friends to provide an account number where the ransom money will be sent to.”

 

Nwakpa, one of the suspects, admitted to receiving ransom payments and deducting a percentage as his share. “The first ransom paid to my account was N3.6 million; second ransom was N4.3 million while the third ransom was N200,000. My share from the N3.6 million ransom was N530,000 which is 15% of the total amount,” he said.
