Monday October 13th as police stormed a place he was
staying with friends in Malaysia.
According to local media report, a Nigerian student had
lodged a police report in Puchong on Sunday October 12th
claiming his girlfriend had been kidnapped by Osazuwa and
his gang.
"The boyfriend said he received a call from a suspect
who demanded RM40,000 for the release of his
girlfriend, also a Nigerian student here. We suspected
the kidnappers were people that the victim must have
known. Police immediately tracked the victim and her
kidnappers’ whereabouts.” criminal investigator
Datuk Mohd Adnan Abdullah said.
Malaysia police said the victim’s boyfriend cooperated with
the police in their investigations and he managed to coax
the suspects into giving him more time and told them he
was gathering the funds.
The police managed to find the victim’s location on
Monday. She was being held in a condominium unit in
Taman Melati, Ampang.
“We formed a team to raid the condominium unit and
moved in on the suspects at about 5pm.”
Mohd Adnan said when police ambushed the unit located at the condominium’s 13th floor, there were three Nigerian men and two local women.
The victim was being held in one of the rooms.
“Upon seeing the police, the suspects attempted to
escape. The raiding team arrested two women and
two men,” he said.
The other suspect tried to climb down from the balcony to a unit below. However, he could not grab hold of anything and fell to his death.
“The suspect who died was in his 20s and we are still
trying to establish his identity,” Mohd Adnan said.
The victim was unharmed while in the custody of the
suspects. He said investigation are underway to determine how many other kidnapping cases they were involved in.
“The gang thought they could get money quickly by
carrying out this crime, but look what had happened
— it has just gone awfully wrong,” he said.
