“People should take into account that your own relation may well be the source of your problem. Your own cook may well be the source of your problem; your guard may well be the source of your problem. All of us need to be careful and not take anything for granted”.
The other suspects paraded were three extortionists who threatened to kill their victim if he didn’t pay up and a musician who was paraded for trafficking in persons.
The state director of the SSS, Mr Bello Bakori, who paraded the suspects before the state governor, Adams Oshiomhole and the press, said the suspects confessed to the crime and that 3 members of the kidnappers of the judge’s wife are still at large.
He said, Mrs Rhodes-Vivour and her daughter, were kept in a house in Upper Sokpomba, area of Benin City from where the kidnap suspects were arrested. All the kidnap suspects were from Delta State while the trafficker in persons is from Edo State.
The governor who was miffed that despite government’s warning that landlords should screen their tenants to ensure that their properties are not used by criminal elements, said the buildings used by the kidnap suspects to hold the judge’s wife, daughter and driver would be demolished at the appropriate time.
“For the landlords, we have already made the decision that anyone that aids and abets kidnapping will have his structure demolished. Any hotelier who does not follow the instruction of documenting who stays in the hotel and such are used for kidnapping or human trafficking we will demolish it. Nobody has the right to make money out of the pains of Nigerians”, he said.
