Isiga said:
When my pure water business was not moving well again, Ufoma came to me and advised me to join him in his business, I didn’t know it was a kidnapping work. I stayed in the bush when they abducted the sisters.
Later, Ufoma told me he collected N200,000 from the family of the victims and he gave me N50,000 out of it as my own share. ”On how and where they kept their victims after the abduction, the suspect who lived at Idepe in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State, said he did not participate actively in the kidnapping, saying it was the leader, Ufoma who could answer that question.
To this end, the police commissioner said the command were already on the trail of other fleeing suspects, saying the one arrested would soon be charged to court .
She said:
” I want to state that Ondo State has zero tolerance for hoodlums and we will ensure that the state is free from all forms of criminalities. I therefore enjoin our people to always inform the police whenever they see any crime committed around them. ”
