This is as they arrested three suspected street light vandals in Borokiri axis of Port Harcourt City local government area of the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the suspected cyber fraudsters and kidnappers were arrested by operatives of the Hawk Tactical Team of the command following intelligence report.

Iringe-Koko gave the names of those arrested as Desmond Williams, aged 19; Isaac Patrick, aged 22; Prince Nelson, aged 17; John Ahmed, aged 17; Thankgod Neesogho, aged 22; Christian Adewale, aged 22; Uche Alaga, aged 16, and Nwika Fakae aged 22 all males.

The statement reads in part: “Operatives of Hawk Tactical Team of the Rivers State Police Command on Tuesday, 9th May, 2023, while acting on reliable intelligence on the activities of some suspected kidnappers and cyber fraudsters, raided a hideout in Cypo Estate, Umuebule 1, Etche LGA.

“In the process, eight (8) suspects: namely Desmond Williams aged 19, Isaac Patrick aged 22, Prince Nelson aged 17, John Ahmed aged 17, Thankgod Neesogho aged 22, Christian Adewale aged 22, Uche Alaga aged 16, and Nwika Fakae aged 22 all male, were arrested; while one victim (name withheld) aged 20 years was rescued.

“The suspects in their confession revealed that their modus operandi include defrauding innocent victims online and fleecing them of their hard-earned money and luring unsuspecting victims to their hideout and using them as baits to fleece their family members and loved ones.

“The victim was lured by his friend who promised to give him a job in the hotel. When the job wasn’t forthcoming, the victim opted to go back to his home, but his captors wouldn’t let him. For his insistence, victim was beaten severely and inflicted with body injuries. Suspects thereafter demanded #500,000 ransom from victim’s parents.
