How A Choir Member Kidnap Church Member's Son For Money


The level some people go these days just to make free money, even in church, is really worrisome:

Israel Ekwuruibe is a devout catholic who attends church regularly. Aside this, he was a member of the choir at St. Theresa Catholic Church, Finima in Bonny, Rivers State. On Sunday, September 29, he went to church and sat on the choir pew, using his baritone voice to sing praises to God.

But deep within him that day was a sinister plan...
A deadly plan that had been conceived along with five others to kidnap the little son of a church member for a ransom. As soon as he sighted the car of their target, Israel made a sign to other gang members who were also within the church building, pretending to be genuine worshippers.

The other suspects are Ifeanyi, who formed the gang, Godswill Bernard, Loveday Anakwuru, Ogechi Nwosu (also a church member) and Odinaka Gabriel.

Before anyone knew what was happening, the boy was nowhere to be found. Israel and others found their way out of the church but it did not take long before their evil deed became exposed. They were picked one by one in Finima. The leader, who had gone as far as Akwa Ibom State with the child, was apprehended along the way by the military joint task force before any ransom could be collected.

This was how the Rivers State Police Command recently thwarted the plans of a kidnap gang, which thought it would make cool millions from a staff of LNG in Bonny, Rivers State by kidnapping his 3-year-old son.

It was said that police investigations revealed that Israel and Ogechi (his girlfriend) are the ones who brought the idea of kidnapping the son of the LNG staff who attended the same church with them.

In his confession, 30-year-old Israel said:
“On the day we carried out the job, I was on the choir stand and I attended both first and second services. I didn’t know who actually brought the child out but it was Ogechi who described the vehicle that the parents of our target used to bring to church. When they came, I was the one who pointed the vehicle to Godswill. I was in my house when police came to arrest me later.”

the boy's dad is confused if he should still be going to church with his family.
