I Planned Abduction Of Late Reverend Father Okechukwu In Kaduna Because I Needed N200,000 – Suspect Confesses

A man arrested in connection with the abduction and murder of Rev. Fr. Sylvester Okechukwu has itted to masterminding the crime, citing financial desperation as his motive.

“Fr. Okechukwu was living in our house at Tachira, and I planned his kidnap because I needed N200,000. I invited some guys from other places to assist me in the operation, but I didn’t ask them to kill him,” he claimed.

Okechukwu, a Catholic priest from the Diocese of Kafanchan, Kaduna State, was abducted on March 4 at his residence in Tachira, Kaura Local Government Area.

However, his body was discovered the following day.

Another suspect, also in custody, itted being recruited but denied involvement in the priest’s death.

“At first, I refused to , but he insisted. He later brought in others from Bokkos in Plateau, who came with guns. After we kidnapped the priest and walked for some distance, we left him with them. I don’t know why they killed him,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigerian reports that the troops arrested the suspects during a raid on a settlement in Warsa-Piti, Lere Local Government Area.

Meanwhile, OPSH officials confirmed that investigations are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects.

.. Then if you heard of killing, you going to tremble but now, it's just like a normal thing, like killing an animal. The society is too bad. Rip to the priest.

Withhold the name of the suspect because he is not Igbo. ABOKJ will just look for somebody to kidnap because he wants money to eat furadanunu. Dead country.

Nigerians of all Faith like to Fast and Pray a lot but they commit more evil than nations that are less religious.

I am sure many underage girls will be pregnant by the time Bala Mohammed decide to open the schools he closed down due to fasting.

The heart of man is exceedingly evil. U needed to abduct and kill somebody to raise money which u never raised.
Money is everywhere, one only needs to look around for a useful need to meet.
