The level some people go
these days just to make
free money, even in
church, is really
worrisome:
Israel Ekwuruibe is a
devout catholic who
attends church regularly.
Aside this, he was a
member of the choir at St.
Theresa Catholic Church,
Finima in Bonny, Rivers
State. On Sunday,
September 29, he went to
church and sat on the
choir pew, using his
baritone voice to sing
praises to God.
But deep within him that
day was a sinister plan...
A deadly plan that had
been conceived along with
five others to kidnap the
little son of a church
member for a ransom. As
soon as he sighted the
car of their target, Israel
made a sign to other
gang members who were
also within the church
building, pretending to be
genuine worshippers.
The other suspects are
Ifeanyi, who formed the
gang, Godswill Bernard,
Loveday Anakwuru,
Ogechi Nwosu (also a
church member) and
Odinaka Gabriel.
Before anyone knew what
was happening, the boy
was nowhere to be found.
Israel and others found
their way out of the
church but it did not take
long before their evil deed
became exposed. They
were picked one by one in
Finima. The leader, who
had gone as far as Akwa
Ibom State with the child,
was apprehended along
the way by the military
joint task force before any
ransom could be
collected.
This was how the Rivers
State Police Command
recently thwarted the
plans of a kidnap gang,
which thought it would
make cool millions from a
staff of LNG in Bonny,
Rivers State by
kidnapping his 3-year-old
son.
It was said that police
investigations revealed
that Israel and Ogechi (his
girlfriend) are the ones
who brought the idea of
kidnapping the son of the
LNG staff who attended
the same church with
them.
In his confession, 30-
year-old Israel said:
“On the day we carried
out the job, I was on the
choir stand and I attended
both first and second
services. I didn’t know
who actually brought the
child out but it was
Ogechi who described the
vehicle that the parents of
our target used to bring to
church. When they came,
I was the one who pointed
the vehicle to Godswill. I
was in my house when
police came to arrest me
later.”
OluFamous.Com gathered
that the boy's dad is now
confused if he should still
go to church with his
family.
