The operatives of the Akwa Ibom Police Command have arrested an Akwa Ibom youth leader, alongside four others for kidnapping and murder in the state.

The youth leader, Eddy Etim Onuka, who is said to be the leader of the Rice Miller Association, alongside his gang members were said to have masterminded two kidnap incidents in Ikot Akpana-Abia, Orun Local Government Area.

Confirming the incident to the newsmen, the spokesperson of the command, Odiko Macdon said one of the incidents involved one Emmanuel whom they shot while he was trying to resist them.

“This is a clear case of kidnapping and it is a very unfortunate one. They went to abduct one Mr. Emmanuel who sells engine parts and when they got there, the man resisted the kidnap and they shot him. By the grace of God, the Special Tactical Team of IGP moved in and effected the arrest. This was the first incident,” he stated. 

“The second incident, the same Eddy led members of the same kidnapping syndicate who succeeded this time around in abducting one Aniekan and collected over N20 million from him as a ransom

“He (Eddy) got N1.2 million which he used in buying another car. His vehicle was used in committing the crime. They confessed to the fact that they used AK-47 in that particular operation,” he added.

The spokesperson also explained the different roles they play in the kidnap of their victims.

“The account was used in collecting the ransom to the tune of N1.2 million while the other person formed surveillance, giving them information about the deceased e.g when he goes out and when he comes

“This goes to underscore the need why Akwa Ibomites at every point in time need to be conscious of security because some of these people are people who are closed to them. Another suspect here collected the phone number of the wife of the deceased and called her demanding a ransom,” he added.

Macdon also encouraged the good citizen of the state to always speak out and call on the attention of the police if they notice any suspicious criminal activities.

“I want to assure the good people of Akwa Ibom State that the command has no place for kidnapping, abduction, and robbery, those perpetrating these acts should desist because they will always meet their Waterloo,” Macdon warned.
