A
kidnap suspect, Linus Nlemadim, from Egbelu Obube in Owerri North Local
Government Area of Imo State, shocked his captors yesterday when he expressed
readiness to reel out the names of his colleagues in crime.
Nlemadim
was allegedly arrested in connection with the recent kidnap of one Eziopara Ben
Anyanwu, an American-based indigene of the same autonomous community.
Vanguard gathered from a source that the
suspect, who made the promise soon after his arrest, vowed that he would not
die alone.
“The
suspect said he was ready to mention the names of members of the gang that were
involved ing the crime, and that there was no way he would die alone,” the
source recounted.
The
source also said that the suspect hinged his position on the fact since his
associates, who were earlier arrested, had leaked their secret, he would not
keep quiet and die alone.
He said:
“True to his threat, the suspect released the name of another colleague of his.
This led to the arrest of his accomplice from Ngor Okpala Local Government
Area.
“I
believe they will be telling the police all they know about the alleged crime.”
A
community leader told Vanguard that the two suspects, who linked Linus
Nlemadim to the deal, were natives of Upe and Umunam in Ngor Okpala Local
Government Area.
The
source said one of the kidnappers was caught when he went to Umuovum, Ulakwo to
sell an i-Pad they stole.
“The man,
who indicated interest in buying the gadget unlocked the equipment, saw the
images of the kidnapped Ben Anyanwu and quickly brought the police into the
picture,” the source said.
