How far will you go in a bid to get money from your elder brother to start a business? Well a young man seems to have provided the answer to the question by his stupid action.
Okafor Chukwujekwu, a 27-year-old man, has been arrested by the police in Lagos for conspiring, arranging and kidnapping his blood brother, Cosmos Chukwujekwu for a ransom.
Olufamous.com gathered that the victim was kidnapped close to his house at Festac Town, Lagos, and taken to an unknown place where he was made to pay N4 million ransom before he was released.
The victim surrendered his Honda car, handsets and paid cash of N1.8 million before they released him. The total value of what he paid them in exchange for his freedom was N4 million.
Mr Cosmos reported the matter at Festac Police Division and during investigation it was discovered that it was his younger brother who executed the kidnap for selfish reasons. Olufamous.com learnt that Okafor had earlier asked his elder brother (Cosmos) for some money to set up a business. He agreed but told him to be patient and give him some time to raise some money.
Trying to be faster than his shadow, Okafor arranged with one Malik Sherif and they ambushed Cosmos on his way home and threatened to kill him if he did not pay the money.
Both of them were later arrested by the police. Okafor and Malik have thus been arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate court presided over by E.A. Ogundare. After listening to the case against them the presiding magistrate send them to Kirikiri prison and adjourned the matter for further hearing.
