Edo State Police officials have nabbed a grandfather, the suspected
leader of a notorious kidnap and robbery gang in Uromi city, Edo

The suspect identified as 53-year-old Fred Ikhimu Arobi who claimed
to have 11 children and several grandchildren told police he used
the ransom from kidnappings to send two of his children to the
University.

service invited him, adding that he was paid N300,000 in his first
operation .
He further disclosed that one of their victims, 67-year-old Premie
Eboigbe Ohakhena, who he said was his neighbor, was killed and burnt
to ashes at their hideout in the bush, because his (Fred’s) brother died
after stepping into a land dispute between them.
Edo state police spokesman, Mr Stephen Onwochie said the
suspects will be charged to court soon.
