The arrested suspect is said to have confessed that he successfully carried out over 50 kidnappings and that his gang had killed many innocent Nigerians during the operations.

A senior police officer who is quoted on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the press on the matter said: “Yellow was leading a formidable gang that has killed many people. The gang has no mercy as it killed anyone who failed to pay ransom at the exact time it requested for it.

The members would abuse their female victims. The worst of it all was that they would kill a victim and still collect ransom. We thank God that he and many of his key gang members have been apprehended by IRT. “
