On Wednesday, the Rivers State Police Command released photos of alleged kidnappers of three undergraduates of Port Harcourt University, UNIPORT and Rivers State University.

The capture of the five-man gang was achieved in less than 72 hours when President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the police to fish the killers for justice.

Police Commissioner Joseph Gobum Mukan, briefing journalists at the Port Harcourt Police Headquarters, said the victims, Nelson Nwafor, Fortune Obemba and Joy Adoki were kidnapped in Choba on 7 April, and the case was reported to the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, which swung into action and arrested the gang leader, Bright Iheachi, who made confessions that led to the arrest of other gan

He clarified that Nelson Nwafor and Fortune Obemba were in fact students of Rivers State University, RSU, while the late Joy Adoki was a management science student at Port Harcourt University, UPTH.


Mukan said items recovered from the hoodlums include one AK-47, three magazines and 72 rounds of live ammunition.

On his part, the father of late Fortune, Mr. Bright Obemba said the boy was his only son, stating that no amount of money given to him would bring back his child.

Leader of the gang, Iheachi said he had a business deal with Nwafor and was betrayed by him, which led him and his gang to kidnap and kill him with the two others, Obemba and Adoki who were in his company as at the time of the incident.

Mukan had earlier said, “we brought you a report that one of the suspects, Friday Akpan, took operatives of the Anti-kidnapping unit to a forest at Eteo in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, where he identified the decomposing bodies of the undergraduates and narrated how they sexually assaulted the female and killed them all.”
