The murder of Imo catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Cyriacus Onunkwo now has a suspect Raphael Ndukwe. The suspected criminal was arrested at hideout in the Ajangbadi area of Ojo, based on a tip-off.
The criminal who confessed to a series of crimes said this is not the first time he is escaping to Lagos .
It will be recalled that the Reverend gentleman was returning home to organise the funeral of his late father when he was abducted. Ndukwe is the leader of a kidnapping gang that had been terrorising Imo State for many months.
He escaped to Lagos after four of his members were arrested in the state. Ndukwe’s gang was also allegedly responsible for the kidnap of one Gloria Emordi who was said to have visited Imo State for a burial ceremony on April 22, 2017.
On arrival in Lagos, the suspect, nicknamed Tiger, settled down with some of his friends who operate as thugs at the Alaba International Market, Ojo, but later fled to Ajangbadi, when the heat on him became hot.
But the police in Lagos finally tracked down the 29-year-old suspect and arrested him on September 10, 2017. Soon after his arrest, he confessed to some of the crimes he committed both in Lagos and the South-East.
He told the police that this was not the first time he would be escaping to Lagos after engaging in a criminal operation.
