A suspected kidnapper, Paul Etim Udoka was on Sunday arrested by soldiers in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, Nigeria.

According to the soldiers from 13 Amphibious Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Calabar, the internal security patrol unit of the brigade effected Paul’s arrest after a tip off.

The soldiers said the suspect confessed that he was one of the 30 kidnappers who abducted a councillor in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State on Sunday.

“Actually, I am their medicine man. I did not participate in the kidnapping,” Paul told the soldiers.

He said they were keeping the victims in the bush awaiting the delivery of the ransom when the soldiers stormed the bush and others fled the scene leaving him. But he could not run away and leave behind his skulls because they would pursue him.

“These things are mine and I cannot leave them for whatever reason because they will come after me,” the suspect said.

Lieutenant Osoba Olaniyi, the Army Public Relations Officer for the Brigade confirmed the arrest, adding that other items recovered from the kidnappers include a spear, a carved wooden human head and one handset.

Lt. Osoba said the suspect will soon be handed over to the police for further interrogation while the hunt for the fleeing kidnappers continues.

    HOW CAN A SELF PROCLAIMED HERBALIST BE SO BOLD.
    LET HIM BE PUBLICLY EXECUTED IN THE STADIUM FOR COMPLICITY AND AIDEING AND ABBATING KIDNAPPING.
    HE SURELY MUST BE ON OF GOVERNOR AKPABIO’S SUBJECTS.
    HE IS A CULISTS LIKE THE GOVERNOR.
    LET THE GOVERNOR NOT INTERFERE IN THIS CASE.
    HE CAN BE VERY HELPFUL IN EXPOSING THE HIDE OUT OF OTHER KIDNAPPERS WHO MAY HAVE SAUGHT HIS PROTECTION.

    What a pity for our country without security, how long shall we stop hearing such story. if not robbery, it will be accident, when that is not available kidnapping will emerge, where are the recruited forces in the nation, ie_ army, police, vigilantee, forest guards etc. its a pity for those victims but the government should reform the economy of the nation to avoid these menance. and the youth should cry out for mass revolution before we all become victims. my beloved country is dead already, its a shameful thing to reckon with.
