The suspects, whose names were given as Haruna Ibrahim, Abubakar Abdullahi, Sunday Selbon Mel­ven, Onyedika Okafor, Lawal Sule, Bello Mohammed and Bello Musa Shehu, were arrested at the Ugwuaji forest along the Enugu/Port Harcourt road, a fortress where criminals hide whenever they strike in the state and other neighbouring states.

While parading the suspects, the state Commissioner for Police, Abubakar Mohammed Adamu, said:

While confessing to the crimes, one of the suspects, Haruna Ibrahim said:

"We have two groups in Enugu State. We only collect ransom from the family of our victims, we don’t kill people.

We have kidnapped a Rev Father at 9th mile and took him to Ugwuaji forest where he spent just two days after we collect­ed N250,000 from him.

Also, we kidnapped a pastor at Obiorre Udi old road and collected a ransom of N150,000."
