was kidnapped in Lagos by some Niger-based kidnappers
on Sunday May 25th last year have revealed how a
relation of theirs connived with some the kidnappers to
kidnap their daughter and sell her to some pimps in Libya.
Speaking with Punch , Blessing Nwaigwe, Precious's
mother said the police have arrested a relation of theirs
who worked with the kidnappers...
“The person that has just been arrested is one of
our relatives. He is my cousin’s child and is
currently with SARS. When we got his contact
sometime in September last year from the
kidnappers, we did not know he was the one
because they gave us a different name. So, his
family and our family had a meeting and he was
invited to the meeting to resolve the issue. It was
during the meeting that the police arrested him.
The suspect said the girl was no longer with him.
He told the police investigators that after he was
paid N250,000, he released the girl to another
person who took her to Libya.”
Blessing, a student of the Ikenne Community College in
Ikenne Ogun state had come to Lagos to spend the
holidays with her father at his home in Ajah and was on
her way back to school when she was kidnapped.
Her Father, Okoro Nwadile, while recounting how his
daughter was kidnapped, said he placed her in a
commercial bus that would take her to back to school and
unknown to him, the bus was filled with kidnappers. He
said days later, he got a call from the school, inquiring why
she had not resumed. He said this was followed by a call
from the kidnappers demanding for $100,000 ransom or they
would make Sarah work for them so she can pay her
ransom.
The case was reported at the Ajah Police Division from
where it was transferred to the Anti-Robbery Squad in
Ikeja. A police source who spoke on the recent
developments in the case, confirmed that Blessing who was
initially taken to Niger has been transferred to Libya.
“The girl is no more in the Niger Republic. She has been
taken to Libya and the police have arrested one of those
involved in the kidnap. The new suspect told us that the
girl was no longer in his custody because she had been sold
to some people suspected to be pimps in Libya.” the police
source said.
