Hussana Adamu was released a week later, after payment of N20 million ransom.
Acting on credible information, DCP Tunji Disu- led team arrested four of the suspects identified as Isiaka Hamidu, 30, who hails from Adamawa State; Nwasaneo Goodluck , 34 ; Victor Nwidee, 29 and ThankGod Bariledun , 36, all from Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
When interrogated, the prime suspect, Isiaka Hamidu, who sells parrots and peacocks in Port Harcourt, said he invited other members of the syndicate to abduct Mrs Adamu to avenge an alleged ill-treatment of his younger brother by her husband, Musa Ahmad, who hails from Maiduguri, Borno state but resides in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
''One of my brothers worked for Alhaji Musa Ahmad, for 11 years. When he left to get married, all Alhaji Ahmad could pay my brother was N250,000.
I was not happy with him because everyone knew he was very rich and could afford more than that. I decided to kidnap him or any member of his family.
I contacted Goodluck, a long-time friend and told him about the situation. He was also angry and bought my kidnap idea.
Good luck in turn called leader of the gang , Ojukwu, who mobilized and coordinated the woman’s kidnap, after I showed them her house. But I did not join them for the operation so that no one would recognize me”
Hamidu said he was paid N1.3 million from the crime. When asked what he used the proceeds from the crime to do, he said;
“I used N1 million out of it to f*** ashawo( commercial sex workers). I lodged in a hotel , invited pro**itutes every night for one month. I slept with at least two ashawos every night for one month and I paid them N20,000 each. I used the remaining N300,000 to plant corn in the village”, he said, maintaining that it was his first time of indulging in kidnap.
