An interstate commercial bus driver, 22-year-old Chisom Nwaiwu is now cooling his heels in the custody of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Imo State Police Command.
Nwaiwu, a native of Amuzi in Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State was alleged to have masterminded the abduction of the eight-month baby of his uncle after luring the wife with a fake job offer and then getting her drunk.
As Sunday Sun learnt from the Imo State Police Commissioner, Abdulmajid Ali, the incident happened on October 23, 2014, after Nwaiwu introduced a member of a kidnapping gang, 24-year-old Chibuzor Ugochukwu, to his uncle’s wife, Chidime Okechalam, who needed employment.
Ugochukwu bought local gin worth N100 and gave to the uncle’s wife to drink and she had a good go at it and got very drunk, but was still able to return home.
With stage one of their inglorious plan carried out, the conspirators then followed while she was still drunk. Her baby was on her back. With alcohol having dulled her senses, and at gunpoint, Ugochukwu took the baby off her back.
In an interview with Sunday Sun at the headquarters of the Anti Kidnapping Squad, Nwaiwu recounted his role in the abduction and revealed how the plot was hatched and executed: “I was the one who organized the kidnapping of the eight-month-old baby of my uncle.
Her weak point is that she is a drunkard. So I introduced one of my friends, Chibuzor Ugochukwu, to her, who said that he would get a job for her, because she was not working. Ugochukwu bought alcoholic drink for her. She got drunk and then went home with her child.
On the way, and at 7.00pm we kidnapped the baby from her and handed it over to our contact person, Onwa, who lives in Umuahia in Abia, who was to sell the baby for the sum of N250,000.”
Meanwhile, Ali said that the prime suspect in the abduction tale, Onwa, who was supposed to sell the baby is still at large and the baby is yet to be recovered.
