The notorious Abuja kidnapping suspect, Chinaza Philip-Okoye, has claimed that he’s an armed robber and not a kidnapper.
NEWSTODAYNG recalled that Chinaza was arrested by a combined team of FCT and Kaduna police officers in Kaduna on Thursday, January 18, when the police swooped in on him and his gang members, who are currently now at large.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja, he said: “I want to categorically state that I’m not a kidnapper, I am not a kidnapper. We only patrol at night and collect cars, and we take them to Kano for sale.
“That night, our aim was to rob the man and take his car, but I was surprised that after we collected his car, yellow who is like our leader, asked the man to enter the back of the car.
“I didn’t know why he did that, and I couldn’t argue with him, so we were driving to Kano before the police caught up with us in Kaduna where I was arrested.”
