Steve was kidnapped at his parents’ home at Laderin Estate, Abeokuta, on
Monday, November 2, 2015.
He was, however, rescued alive last Friday by the men of the Ogun State Police
Command, who swooped on the kidnappers at Nsukka, Enugu State, and rescued the
boy alive.
Dr. and Mrs. Mucipay Kanu, beamed with smile when they appeared with their son
at the state police command headquarters, Eleweran, on Monday.
The suspects arrested for the crime were also paraded by the Commissioner of
Police, Abdulmajid Ali.
The suspects are Kenechukwu Amoke (21), Anayo Amoke (35), Oluchi Asadu (20)
and Maureen Uchenna (25).
Maureen, who was a staff nurse in Dr. Mucipay Kanu’s hospital in Abeokuta for
over three years before she resigned in July this year, was said to have
planned the abduction of Steve with her boyfriend, Obinna Amoke, who is
currently on the run.
The nurse said she regretted being part of the kidnapping.
She said, “I learnt that Doctor paid N1m ransom to one of our members in
Abeokuta before the police detectives arrested us in Enugu.
“I regretted my action, but it was my boyfriend, who wanted to travel abroad
and wanted to pay my bride price, that put pressure on me to commit this
crime.”
The commissioner, while parading the suspected kidnappers, said the manhunt
for Obinna was on, adding that he would be arrested.
“The boy was kept for eight days in Anayo Amoke’s residence in Isale Ibefun in
Abeokuta, before he was moved to Nsukka, where they kept him in Oluchi Asadu’s
house,” the CP said.
He said he would liaise with the Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, to
ensure that Obinna’s house in the village was demolished.
