It sounds strange, but it is real: a prisoner coordinates kidnapping from Port Harcourt Prison. .....That was what a 33-year-old suspect, Cyprian Nwanfo, paraded by the Rivers State Police Command, revealed yesterday.

| THE SUSPECTS PARADED |
Cyprian Nwanfo disclosed that their kidnap gang activities are controlled from the prison by their leader, one Prosper David. According to Nwanfo, Prosper would call to give them instruction on who to kidnap, how much should be collected as ransom and how it should be shared among members of the five-man gang.
To convince police he was saying the truth, Nwanfo spoke with Prosper with his phone. Prosper, who did not know Nwanfo had been arrested, told him to lie low because police were on their trail.
He said their recent kidnap victim was a female, who paid 10 million Naira as ransom, adding that Prosper got three million naira as his share, which they routed through Proper’s wife.
‘We took an oath’ He said: “My name is Cyprian Ifanyi Nwanfo. I am 33 years old and from Abia State. Our Oga is the man in prison; his name is Prosper David. “My friend Chuks Okozie, who is also in prison, introduced me into bunkering, before they introduced guns into our business. We took oath and were told we cannot quit; if we do, we will die. “Tugo Man is the next to Prosper. He takes order from Prosper. When we kidnap, we share to Oga in prison. I got one million naira from the 10 million a female (names and profession withheld) we kidnapped paid this year. “We give the share of our Oga to his wife at Abuloma end of Port Harcourt. We do not talk to the woman when she comes.”
Police also paraded Sylvanus George, who organised the kidnap of 80-year-old mother of Rivers Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mrs Patience Tam-George. George said: “I am 35 years. I do not do anything. I dropped out of University of Port Harcourt. I organised the kidnap of the Commissioner’s mother to make money from the commissioner. “I could not get anything because Ateke Atom arrested me and handed me over to the Police.”
Vanguard cullage.

ReplyDeleteMobile phones are smuggled in prisons all over the world ,watch movies na ,come be Niger where everything is possible
ReplyDeleteShocking!! The Oga has associates inside that prison. The Prison authority needs to get to the bottom of this ASAP because the kidnapping in PH is alarming. A lot of Women don't know their Husband or Boyfriend's source of income. All they want is money so Oga go organize operation, give you one million you carry put for pocket. Tufiaaa !! May God continue to expose all these idiots that have put families of kidnapped individuals through undue stress. Nigerian Prison authority please fish out those Officers aiding Prisoners with phones, etc.
ReplyDeleteAm not surprised,some warders are so corrupt and often paid by the prisoners to allow them have access to phones.
ReplyDeleteHian!
ReplyDeleteLmao. If you can always settle your prison guards well , they will allow you all the comfort you want . They even allow run girls to sleep with the immate that can play ball
ReplyDeleteBera believe. Those guys in prison live large ooo. Na like house arrest
ReplyDeleteThey even have VIP section where you have a self contained room,toilet and bathroom inside,you can even cook inside all you need to do is to settle the prison warders.
DeleteIts not just in Nigeria that things like this happen. With the right amount of money as a convict, one can be made quite comfortable within the walls. Hello anyine remembers Bode George?
ReplyDeleteThey work hand in hand with the police.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know nigerian police.
Incomplete story!
ReplyDeleteThe police in dis particular prison are co-suspects.even a baby knows dat.
Is it not our uniform people?? They can take bribe anywhere. Just small tip, and the prison warders would find him a phone. They'll even share from the money.
ReplyDeleteYou seem shocked Stella. They have phones, internet access, newspaper, right to exclusives, some might even be faithful BVNs,all possible with the help of the wardens and officials.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't be surprised Stella. Nigerian police are the main criminals themselves. I was listening to a radio programme the other day about a kidnap. The kidnappers asked for 10million.They kept negotiating while the family had contacted the police. I couldn't help but wonder why the police will tell the family of the man kidnapped that they should just settle the kidnappers 3million and their brother will be released. Truly, that was the case. Kidnappers that gave an ultimatum of 5million or nothing all of a sudden said they should bring 3million.
ReplyDeleteGod help Nigeria.
Only in Naija
ReplyDeleteSmh
LOl
ReplyDeleteStella go and watch TELEMUNDO. You will just be acting as if you are new in this world. what is not possible in this world.
