BREAKING: ‘Your Time Will Come’ – Kidnapper Warns Colleagues To Quit After House Demolition

The Edo State Government’s Anti-Kidnapping Task Force has demolished the house of a middle-aged man, Oboh Odianosen, in the Uromi part of the state.

Odianosen lost his inherited property following his alleged involvement in kidnapping around the Edo Central Senatorial Districts of the state.

A statement by the Chief of Press to the Edo State governor, Fred Itua, on Thursday, stated that the property was demolished by the task force following Odianosen’s arrest and confession to the crime.

Speaking with newsmen before the demolition exercise, Odianosen explained that he recently received N800,000 as proceeds from his last mission.

Admitting to the crime, he said in Pidgin English, “My name na odianosen Oboh. Na my house be this. My papa build am, but I finish the house. Na my friend Epama I follow, we carry one man from Ekpoma, as we carry am, the car when we use spoil, I come use my bike carry am.

On how he was arrested, he said, “Na Epama when them hold confess me, and them come pick me. Now them wan break my house, my papa house because of N800,000. My family no go get house again. My children, they are outside now. Anybody that see crime should run from crime.”

Speaking after supervising the demolition of the fourth property of the kidnapping suspects, Special Adviser to Governor Monday Okpebholo on Security Affairs, Mr Akhere Paul, stated that the governor will not relent until the kidnapping ends in the Edo State.

“My advice to everybody is that there is no peace for the wicked. Those still kidnappers should know the government will not stop. Your time will come and we will come for you. We will chase them, continue to chase them and we will continue to bring their houses down,” he said.

Also speaking, the Commander of the Task Force, SP Michael Anetor, noted that the suspects, who belong to a gang of five, had confessed to the crime.

Anetor, while narrating how the suspects were apprehended, said, “This guy called Oboh is a kidnapper. He has confessed to the crime, and I personally have interviewed him, he told me he has only followed them once, with a guy called Palmer, who we have also demolished his house.

“I am advising those who are watching what is going on now, and still have intentions to do crime; the governor is not going to rest, and we at the Task Force, are ready to work round the clock until they stop kidnapping in Edo State.”
