5 Nigerians arrested for kidnapping a fellow Nigerian in the Philippines

Five Nigerians were arrested in Angeles City, Pampanga on Thursday for allegedly kidnapping their compatriot.

According to Philstar, the suspects, namely Evans Enwwereaku Chinemerem, David Chidera Ibegbulamo, Nwokeke Christian Ihechukwu, Nwokeke Cajothan Chinemmerem and Okonkwo Emmanuel Kosiso, who are all residents of Angeles City, are facing criminal complaints of kidnapping for ransom and violation of Republic Act 10591, or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.

Central Luzon Police director Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan said the suspects were arrested when operatives of the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group, together with Mabalacat City and Angeles City police, raided their hideout in Barangay Malabanias at around 5 a.m.

Maranan added that the operation was based on information from the Anti-Kidnapping Group that the suspects kidnapped their fellow Nigerian, Kingsley Chukwuemeka Ikeagwuana, a student residing at Urban Resort Residences in Paranaque City and held the victim for ransom.

“Hopefully, this will serve as a warning to those who want to commit crimes and to thieves,” he said. Three firearms, two .45 caliber pistols and a .38 caliber revolver with ammunition were seized from the suspects.
