A foolish 23 year old Lebanese man, Mohamed
Dannawi has been arrested by police in Lagos in connection with the kidnapping
of his 61 year old aunt, Alhaja Essa Dannawi. He conspired with Obi Kwentua, a
former employee of his aunt, to kidnap the woman on May 2nd at her home in
Ebute Meta, Lagos.
Mohammed,
who later confessed to the crime, told police during interrogation that he
didn’t kidnap his aunt because of money but to punish her because she offended
him and his wife.
“My
aunty did something very bad to my wife and I and so I decided to punish her. I
met with Obi (Kwentua) and told him that I wanted my aunty kidnapped. I gave
him the spare key to her house and he in turn hired some boys to do the work.
On the day of the operation, I left the house and five guys stormed the place
and took my aunty away. The plan was not to demand money from her, it was just
punishment.” Mohamed said in a statement to the police.
The
kidnappers demanded N100m ransom from the woman’s family but later agreed to
collect N4m.The police were able to arrest one of the suspects, Obi Kwentua
when he came to collect the N4million ransom from relatives of the victim at
Rita Lori Hotel in Surulere.
Essa
Dannawi was later released while Mohammed and Kwentua were arrested
