‘Profile Your Domestic Staff’ — FCT Police Commissioner Urges Parents As Chef Kidnaps Principal’s Son

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Commissioner, Benneth Igwe has urged residents to profile their domestic staff.

His advice followed the arrest of a domestic staff member, serving as a chef to a resident in the FCT, who masterminded the kidnapping of his principal’s 12-year-old son.

The FCT Police in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh on Sunday revealed that the staff member, Ulagu Chukwuma, 29, conspired with another to abduct the child.

“Investigations by the Police revealed that the principal suspect, who has since confessed to the crime, conspired with one McDonald Arinze, currently at large to commit the crime.

“The suspects had earlier forcefully obtained a cash sum of N3,900,000 as ransom from the victim’s father,” the statement said.

The operation, executed by the operatives of the Utako Divisional Station led to the rescue of the child unhurt. The FCT police said, the operatives also recovered the ransom.

“While effort is still ongoing to apprehend the suspects at large, the Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Benneth C. Igwe, wishes to reiterate his unflinching commitment to ensure the safety of all in the Territory.

“He equally encouraged residents to involve the Police in the profiling of their domestic workers, noting the new trend and pattern of kidnapping by domestic workers,” the statement revealed.
