According to one Mr. Festus Nwaomucha, whose niece was also kidnapped by the duo, Emmanuel Udagwu and Celestina Enebeli have been kidnapping children in Ndemili and its environ.
They have reportedly confessed to kidnapping about 9 children so far. On Sept 24, 2016, they kidnapped Nwaomucha’s 5-year-old little niece, Glory Oyibo, right inside their compound.
Since then efforts have been on to recover the stolen child. Fortunately, luck ran out on them when 2 kids were found in their possession, by the police in Issele-Uku, on Monday, 13th of November.
On interrogation, they confessed to have been stealing children. When they kidnap children, they transport their victims to Asaba, where a 70-year-old woman received the victims for onward movement to the East, for sales.
However, the septuagenarian confessed to have sold Nwaomucha’s niece with another victim (a boy) for 500k, through another man in Asaba who outsmarted the police during arrest, abandoning his taxi coloured car. Investigation is still ongoing.
