A suspected cultist and kidnap kingpin, Edidiong Bill, popularly known as ‘Barrister’, 36, yesterday narrated how his father stole from the ransom he collected when he brought the money home.
“Barrister” who was paraded by the police before newsmen
in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, confessed that he orchestrated
three kidnapping cases but succeeded in one.
According to him, N4.5million was paid as ransom but lamented that
his father stole N3.8 million when he brought the cash home for
safe-keeping.
He said: “I kidnapped the lady at Akpan Essien Street in Uyo
and kept her in an uncompleted building at Obio Etoi, in Uyo and
N4.5million was later paid as ransom. I don’t use to stay with my father
but on that particular day, I went home with the money and hid it in
the house, but I later found out that my father had stolen N3.8million
from the total cash.”
The suspect, who the police described as a gang leader, claimed
that he was jailed for a similar crime in 2014. The state police command
said that “Barrister” was arrested when his kidnapping ring was busted
at Afaha Effiat community in Etinan local government area.
The police described him as one of the most wanted gang leaders of
the Vikings Confraternity. He allegedly masterminded several kidnappings
and armed robbery activities on the Etinan-Uyo and Calabar Itu head
bridge.
Parading “Barrister” and several other criminals yesterday
at the Police Headquarters, Ikot Akpanabia in Uyo, the state capital,
the commissioner of police (CP), Mr. Zaki Ahmed, said the syndicates
were smashed based on intelligence reports.
