Uzordima Chukwudi, 29, was a lotto operator before he took
to kidnapping, a trade he was into before he was arrested by the Inspector General
of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, led by CSP Abba Kyari.
Chukwudi was arrested alongside some other members of the
group, including Joseph Chiaotu, aka Ejima, 21, Anozie Chinonso, 25 and
27-year-old Chukwuma Agim, who is a prison official, in connection with the
kidnap of a woman in Imo State.
Speaking to journalists during the week, Chukwudi said he
was studying Mechanical Engineering at Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Imo State
before he dropped out in his final year. “What led me into kidnapping was
unfortunate,” he said.
