What a stupid child. Now we blame the parents and say lack of parental upbringing ?
This is what lack contentment, pressure, idle mind can make you create instead of channeling your mind into something reasonable , you're thinking of how to dupe your parents by coming up with kidnap

Chidera Godwin Ako, 21, Okechukwu Philip Chidalu, 19; Ifeanyi Ugwu, 20 and Ossai Chigozie, 35

Yet these people will still blame everyone but themselves over this kidnapping.

Otokoto in Oweri was where kidnapping started in Nigeria. They single handedly this evil thing called kidnapping into this into Nigeria but they always like to blame Fulani

May we not bear this kind of child. I'm sure this criminal act was motivated and inspired by meth, colos and cana addiction.
