Azuoma Nwabugoh, also known as AZU, a big
boy in popular Alaba Int'l Market in Lagos has
been arrested along with members of his kidnap
gang who are also apprentice boys in his shops.
My boss (Azu) brought the guns and we
went to kidnap the victim. My boss drove
the man to an undisclosed place in the
man's jeep while I followed in another
car. It was when my boss returned to
Lagos that he gave me the victim's vehicle
to sell to Arinze. Arinze gave me N50,000
and I handed it over to my boss. My boss
then gave me N30,000."
This is the confession of one of Azu's apprentice,
while owning up to the crime. He confirmed that
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 the 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
attached to Ilemba Hausa Division recovered a
vehicle belonging to a kidnap victim, Obinna
Okpara, who was locked inside a toilet for over
one week . After kidnapping the victim, Azu and
his boys allegedly sold the car to 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 released on September 9, 2013, after a ransom was paid.
"His vehicle was, however, traced to the house
of one Michael Arinze at Etegbin Road,
Ajangbadi, Lagos. Upon interrogation, Arinze
said he bought the vehicle from one of the
suspects.
"He said the vehicle, 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."
