A 36-year-old Cyril Isong, a graduate of Information Technology at the Federal University of Minna , Niger State , has said he Kidnapped a House of Representatives member whom he accused of enticing his wife with money, when it became apparent he could no longer fend for his family.

The suspect was arrested by operatives of the Force Intelligence Response Team, IRT led by its Commander, DCP Tunji Disu, in Akwa-Ibom state, one year after the abduction of the House of Representative member.

Information at Crime Guard’s disposal revealed that cash of two thousand dollars and N65,000 , found in the legislator’s car and pocket were collected, with other valuables, before he was released

Immediately after his release, the House of Reps member petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Alkali Usman Baba, explaining that he received a call on August 4, 2020, where the caller identified himself simply as Sani and claimed he was a former member of the National Assembly between 2003 and 2005.

He stated that the caller(Sani) claimed he had some health challenges and was advised to contact the lawmaker who was working directly with the Speaker of the House of Representatives and in charge of the affairs of former members of the house.

The lawmaker said that he directed the caller to his house in Abuja but that the latter said he could not move about because of the illness . Rather, the caller gave the legislator an address of an apartment in Asokoro, begging him to come see him there.

On reaching the apartment, the legislator said he met two boys who introduced themselves as brothers to Sani, but that as he walked into the apartment, he was attacked, blind folded and tied up.

After dispossessing him of cash and other valuables, he said they demanded a number to call for ransom but that he begged them to let him go.

During interrogation, Isong, however, revealed that he posed as a lady to get the legislator, an action he claimed to be a personal vendetta.

He said, “ I got married in 2017. The experience between 2017 and 2019 was awesome. I travelled all over the world with my beautiful wife, for business and pleasure. All was going on well until Covid-19 disrupted everything. We lost a lot of goods as a businessman and at one point, I was indebted.

All of a sudden I noticed that my wife started locking her phones . Being a computer guru, I was able to tap into her line and started reading her discussion with different men. Reading text messages of how she begged men for money got me angry. The honourable was one of them.

One day, he ( legislator) visited our house pretending to be a family friend, unknown to him that I had read his chats with my wife. That was when I made up my mind to deal with him. I played along and collected his number.

“ His visit led to the break-up of my marriage because when I confronted my wife, she got angry and packed out of the house.

The strategy

“ When my wife left, I bought a new line and contacted the honorable , pretending to be a woman. I contacted some cultists that I knew in school to help me arrange a beautiful girl who had a video call with the honourable. He fell into the trap.

“ I told honourable that I hated sleeping in the hotel with a man that is not my husband. I invited him to a short-let apartment in an estate in Asokoro, where I paid N80,000 per night.

“On the agreed date, he came and we tied him up. I did not speak throughout so that he wouldn’t recognize my voice. We searched him and took all the valuables and cash found on him. He refused to call his family for more money. Rather,he requested our account number. But I knew that would implicate us. So, we untied him and allowed him to go. We did not beat him. It was at the police station that I learnt the boys that I hired took some dollars from his car”, he said.
