I joined kidnapping because I was told huge money is involved – suspect

A commercial tricycle operator popularly known as ‘Keke rider’, Joseph Audu, has  narrated how his friends lured him with seemingly huge amount of money realized from ransom.

The 35 years old Audu said he was given N80,000 out of a N400,000 ransom paid by relations of their victim after their first kidnapping operation in Ore town, Odigbo council area of Ondo state.

Audu, who was apprehended in the act by some vigilante members in Orita community, during the gang’s second operation, said his friends told him a lot of money was involved in the kidnapping business if he joined them.

He has however, been transferred to the Special Weapon and Tactics (SWAT), Ondo Police Command, in Akure, the state capital.

During an interview, Audu , who is from Kogi state, said “ For more than three months, they were threatening to implicate me if anything happens to them since they have told me the nature of their business, and since I have no choice, I  joined them.  

“Their threat got me worried to the extent, that even at times, I won’t sleep and my wife noticed that and asked me what happened but I couldn’t tell her what I was battling with.”
