The Imo state police command have busted a kidnapping syndicate who specializes in stealing children in Enugu state.

Members of the group include Obinna Eze, Oluchi Chibuike,Vitalis Lumanze, Nkiru Nwanedu, Chinyere Nwudu and one Jacinta, who reportedly abducted and sold a five-year-old boy, Francis Nwachukwu and his two-year-old sibling, Chinaza Nwachukwu, for N1.1m

On August 29th, a woman identified as Oluchi Chibuike, attempted to kill her cousin, Abigail Uka, after she came to their home in Uzoagba, Imo state and lured her together with her children for a visitation to her supposed suitor, Obinna Eze.

However it was gathered that the Oluchi hired two prime suspects Vitalis Lumanze and Chinatu and paid them N160,000 to attack them on their way back, so they can take away her children. Uka’s children were then driven on a motorcycle to Eze’s residence.

At about 7pm of the same day, along Amankuta Mbieri, a lonely bush path, the two hired men allegedly attacked the victim and dumped her inside the bush, thinking that she had died. Obinna and Oluchi took the two children back to Obinna’s house.

After their plan paid off, Oluchi and Obinna allegedly took the two children to Enugu State and sold them to one Nkiru Nwanedu for N1.1m on 30th August, 2017.

Nkiru Nwanedu, 45, resold the children to one Jacinta Amadi of Egede in the Udi LGA of Enugu State,
