John Ewa (aka John Lyon), a suspected kidnapper who was recently arrested by the Bayelsa Police Command has revealed to reporters how he got 3.5 million naira from one of the kidnap operations his gang carried out.
The suspect, according to the report on Cable News, was said to have revealed this while he was being paraded by the Police.
John Ewa and 3 other suspected members of the kidnap gang were paraded in Yenagoa, the state capital of Bayelsa State on Monday, 26th of September 2022.
As reported by Cable News, John and his gang’s arrest followed a kidnap operation they carried out on June 30th, 2022 on a bank manager in Yenagoa, Danjuma Emeije.
According to the report, Danjuma was later released after the gang reportedly received 50 million naira ransom from the victim’s family.
However, this would not be the only kidnap operation the gang had carried out. According to the report on Cable News, the suspects also kidnapped one Hakeem.
John would later reveal that he got the sum of 3.5 million naira from the kidnap of Hakeem but that he never participated in the kidnap operation.
John also told reporters that his mother was in the hospital during the kidnap operations.
