Anthony, is a native of Delta State and is married with two
kids and resides at Awoyaya Ibeju, Lekki Road. He said his
first operation was “when we kidnapped a woman in Warri,
Delta State on October 2011 and got N280,000.
“During the first and second operations, the gang did not
disclose the venue to me. They blindfolded me because I
was new in the team.
“After the second job, we moved to Benin to kidnap a man.
I was given N100,000. I believed it was a cool business.
“The third operation made me a millionaire, because I was
given N2.8 million.
“I drove the gang in that operation, but I did not know
where they kept the woman. We collected N9 million in the
fourth operation. When we kidnapped a man in Benin, I was
also given N1.5 million.
“We moved to Delta State between Oroku and Abeh Road,
where we kidnapped a man. I was given N3.5 million.
“After making millions of naira in South-East, we moved to
South-West. Our sixth operation was at Eleko Junction,
Ajah in June. We collected N1.6 million ransom from the
person and I was given 300,000.
“The seventh operation was when we kidnapped a Keystone
Bank worker on her way home. We were seven when we
attacked her.
“We took her to a bush, where she spent six days. We did
not rape her. We gave her everything she requested for and
we usually buy her food from Mr. Biggs and some other
places.
“We told her family to pay N6 million. Even the woman was
ready to give us N10 million.
“One of our guys was arrested when he went to collect the
money. When police arrived, we exchanged fire with them
and lost two members.
“I used the money to buy a car, four plots of land in Benin,
one plot in Lagos and opened a supermarket for my wife.
“My wife believed I was a welder. She only got to know
what I do when I was arrested.”
