A suspected notorious Abuja criminal, Chinaza Philip-Okoye, has denied being a kidnapper in the Federal Capital Territory
Philip-Okoye said he is not a kidnapper but an armed robber who steals cars from people on the expressway
He said the police operatives arrested him in Kaduna state on their way to Kano after snatching a car.
He stated this during during a parade of criminal suspects at the Federal Capital Territory Police Command on Wednesday, January 24.
“I want to categorically state that I’m not a kidnapper, I am not a kidnapper. We only patrol at night and collect cars, and we take them to Kano for sale.
“That night, our aim was to rob the man and take his car, but I was surprised that after we collected his car, Yellow who is like our leader, asked the man to enter the back of the car. I didn’t know why he did that, and I couldn’t argue with him, so we were driving to Kano before the police caught up with us in Kaduna where I was arrested.”
Earlier, the FCT police command confirmed the arrest of Phillip-Okoye. Operatives of the Kaduna state police command arrested Chinaza on Thursday, January 18, 2024.
