Kidnap kingpin, Robinson Okotie, arrested in Delta
The joint military patrol team attached to the 19 battalion of the
Nigeria Army in Sapele, Delta State yesterday arrested a kidnap kingpin
identified as Robinson Okotie. Leader of the patrol team, Lt Col. Aji
Mohammed, who confirmed his arrest, said the suspect was
apprehended around Ugbeyiyi Junction by Memory Super Market in Sapele.
During interrogation, the suspect reportedly confessed to being a member
of the kidnapping ring that has been terrorizing residents of Sapele
and its environs.
Mohammed added that the suspect also confessed to have been
responsible for the killing of two soldiers in the area who were on
routine patrol along Ovoh Creek recently.
Accordingly, the suspect led the team to their hideout where they arrested one David Adogbefi, another gang member.
Mohammed added that the patrol team was faced with a fierce gun
battle when they went in search of other members of the gang hiding in
the creeks. Two of the suspected kidnap gang members were killed by the
military, while others escaped with bullet wounds.
