Okonkwo Rejects Obi’s Demand for Apology, Insists on Allegations Over NDC Primaries A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has rejected a demand by Peter Obi for a retraction and apology over comments concerning the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) primary elections. Okonkwo, in a response to a pre-action notice issued by Obi, maintained that he would not withdraw remarks made during a recent appearance on Channels Television, insisting that his comments were based on complaints allegedly brought to him by party aspirants and other sources.

SUSPECTED KIDNAPPER BEGS THE GOVERNMENT FOR MERCY.(PHOTO).


 A suspected kidnapper who collected N1.5m ransom from the family of his two victims in Plateau state, has begged the government for mercy. 

 

The suspect, Umar Adam abducted the two minors, a boy and girl, and demanded a ransom of N20 million but subsequently accepted N1.5 million to release the victims.


 

He was nabbed by residents of the NEPA community in Jos North Local Government Area of the state last month. 


 

Adam made the appeal when he was paraded alongside other suspects at the state police command on Friday, September 6, where he claimed it was his first time engaging in kidnapping. 

 

“I kidnapped two teenagers and held them in an uncompleted building. After collecting the N1.5 million as ransom, I was on my way to release the victims and hand them over to their relatives when suddenly people apprehended me,” he said. 

 

"This is my first time of committing kidnapping. I beg the government to please show mercy on me. It was a mistake and I promise I will never do it again. I am pleading with the government."
