Two suspected children from hell have been arrested in Anambra State
for allegedly kidnapping their father. The two brothers, 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. Both Ifeanyi, who was the victim's
heirand 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 suspecteda 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 housewhere the
victim was held hostage.
Ifeanyi explained his role to CrimeWatch: " I amthe 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 himin
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 myfather.
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 andother
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.
