Precious Nwaigwe, the 15-year-old girl kidnapped in the Ajah area of Lagos State, while on her way to school in Ogun State, has been returned to Lagos almost a year after she was abducted and sold to a pimp in Libya.
Rescued by detectives at the State Criminal Investigation Department, together with men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Precious who had been sold to a pimp in Libya, was dropped off at the Obalende area of Lagos State on Friday.
One of the suspects, Kelvin Kizito, opened up to the police after undergoing a series of drilling interrogations that a relative of the girl was involved in the kidnap.
According to a police source, Kelvin was initially reluctant to release any information but after undergoing serious interrogations and drillings, he said he should be allowed access to a phone.
When he was given the phone, he called a member of the kidnap syndicate and told them to release the girl because the game was up.
The girl was released from Libya and on Friday she arrived in Lagos. She was dropped off at Obalende.
Precious’ father confirmed that his daughter had been found.
It will be recalled in earlier reports that Precious came to Lagos from her school to spend the holiday with her father in Ajah.
Her father, Mr Okoro Nwaigwe, took her to the Sangotedo Motor Park when it was time for her to go back to school.
He said he bid his daughter farewell on the fateful day (May 24, 2014), without knowing the vehicle she boarded was owned by kidnappers.
It was gathered that a few weeks after the journey, the Nwaigwes got a call from Precious’s school, Ikenne Community College, Ikenne, Ogun State, that she was yet to arrive.
Her parents reported at Ajah police division and about two months after the kidnap, the victim’s parents got a call from the kidnappers in Niger Republic, who demanded a ransom of $100,000, threatening to make her work for the ransom, if it was not paid.
Precious was finally found on Friday, 24th April, 2015 at Obalende, Lagos after the kidnappers brought her back from Libya.

ReplyDelete15 years old forced to join the trade. God punish those kidnappers for assaulting young girls
Make her work for the ransom????????
ReplyDeleteMake her work like she owed you??
Devils!!
Bastards!!
For the tears this girl shed!!
You will pay dearly..
And any man that found their sweaty,shrivelled penis into this girl's thighs will rot in hell!!
Perverts!!
Imagine if it were your own daughter,made to open her legs for strangers,in a strange country,in a dingy pay as you go motel... for a pimp!! Oh noooooo!!
My heart bleeds!!!
Her parents can take her to see a doctor and a therapist, even a special police that interviews children just in case they have messed with her head.
ReplyDeleteWhatever she must have been through, Lord please heal her (body, soul and spirit). May the culprits know no peace all their lives.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish my friend Becky is found too. Hmmm! Just like Mrs Peggoton? In David Copperfield, we will continue to burn the candle (hope) until you find your way home.
Hmmm!
ReplyDeleteThat gal would have gone thru some level of sexual defilement from these Arab men.
Smh
At least we tank God she's alive.
