The Ofuoma Division of the Nigeria Police Force, Delta State Command is holding Cornelius Ememah, Nelson Aghogho (aka Little), and Ofuoma Tunde ‘f’, in custody for alleged kidnapping and blackmail.
It was learnt that on January 2, 2023 at about 1700hrs, the DPO Ofuoma Division received a complaint from a lady (name withheld) that she saw one of the hoodlums that kidnapped her on December 11, 2022, and held her hostage at a hotel in Iwherekpokpor Community, Ughelli North LGA, took her nude pictures and molested her and used her nude pictures to blackmail her and thereby, extorted huge sum of money from her parents as ransom.
On receipt of this complaint, the DPO immediately detailed a combined team of Police detectives and Ekiugbo community vigilante, arrested one Cornelius Emene ‘m’ aged age 32 years.
During preliminary investigation, suspects made useful statement that led to the arrest of two other suspects Nelson Aghogho (aka Little), Ufuoma Tunde ‘f’, and also gave account of how they kidnapped another student of School of Health Technology Ofuoma, Ughelli north LGA.
“The Modus operandi of the syndicate is to lure unsuspecting young girls on facebook, get them to a hotel, drug them, gang rape them, before holding them hostage and demand ransom from their parents to secure their release. The suspects’ phones contained numerous sex video recording of their previous victims, which was also used to blackmail them and their parents.
