The Lagos Police comand special team, SARS, has
arrested the two prostitutes who led a seven-man
gang of kidnappers to abduct the child of a Lagos
businessman.
Esther Phillips (22) is from Ondo and a drop-out of
Mass Communication student of Lagos State
Polytechnic.
Patricia Nna (25), from Abia state, a sex worker.
She has a part time job with Amingo, a company
that manufactures hair attachment.
Esther’s story
“I was in a state of frustration when I met a half-
cast guy (name withheld), who was so nice and
caring. All I needed to continue with my bid to
travel abroad was N200,000. I started thinking that
if I could kidnap this half cast, his father, a stinking
billionaire, would give any amount to get his only
child back.
Esther contacted a co-sex worker, Ms Patricia help
her in the kidnapping deal. Patricia contacted
Kingsley Okenwa aka Dragon who is experienced in
kidnapping.
“I told Dragon that the half-cast would be driving a
jeep by himself from Opebi and that I would go
there to meet him. He had told me that he wanted
to sleep with Patricia and I together on that day for
full sexual satisfaction. I told Dragon and his men
to wait for us at Iyana School Bus Stop.
“We got to Iyana School Bus Stop around 4.30 pm.
I pretended that I wanted to ease myself. The half-
cast parked the jeep by the roadside and I came
down. Before I could bend down, three men,
namely Dragon and two others named Black and
Osi appeared with daggers and entered the Murano
Jeep. They forced the half-cast to move to the back
seat and Osi took over the steering. That was
sometime in February this year.
“We drove to a room in Iyana and the five of us
stayed there. The half-cast was not chained. Rather,
he sat comfortably with the television on. The
generator was on and the bed was okay. I even
wanted to make love with him there just to make
him feel at home, but he was not in the mood for
that. The room was in a face-me-I-face-you
building, but almost all the tenants used to go out
for one work or the other in the morning, making
the building desolate in the day time.
“He knew that I had planned the kidnap, so he
asked why I was risking his life because of
common N200,000, which he said he would have
given me without any stress if I had asked him. We
demanded N10 milion from his father, but Dragon
later collected only N5 million and five of us shared
it.”
