The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike said the gang members operated in Imo and Enugu states and had committed many atrocities.
“On August 29, 2017, Oluchi Chibuike, the cousin of one Abigail Uka, came to Uzoagba, in the Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State, in company with one Obinna Eze, who Oluchi Chibuike said was her intended husband.
“Their mission was to take Abigail and her two children – Francis Nwachukwu and Chimazaekpere Nwachukwu –to visit Obinna’s house at Afara, in the Mbaitoli LGA”, Ezike said.
The CP disclosed that Eze took Uka and her two children on his motorcycle at about 12pm to his residence.
According to him, in order for the two prime suspects to achieve their plan, they allegedly hired the services of one Vitalis Lumanze and Chinatu, who they paid N160,000 to attack her on their way back to Uzoagba in the Ikeduru LGA .
“At about 7pm of the same day, along Amankuta Mbieri, a lonely bush path, the two hired men attacked the victim and dumped her inside the bush, thinking that she had died.
“Obinna and Oluchi took the two children back to Obinna’s house,” he added.
“Nkiru Nwanedu, 45, resold the children to one Jacinta Amadi of Egede in the Udi LGA of Enugu State,” Ezike added.
Ezike said the only fleeing member of the gang, identified as Chinatu, would soon be arrested.
