Suspected notorious Abuja kidnapper, Chinaza Philip-Okoye, has claimed that he's an armed robber and not a kidnapper

The infamous Abuja kidnapper said, "I'm just an armed robber, not a kidnapper."

Chinaza Philip-Okoye, a reputed kidnapper from Abuja, has asserted that he is an armed robber and not a kidnapper.

Chinaza was taken into custody by the Kaduna police on Thursday, January 18, 2024.

Speaking with reporters on Wednesday, January 24, in Abuja, he stated: "I want to categorically state that I'm not a kidnapper, I am not a kidnapper. We only patrol at night and collect cars, and we take them to Kano for sale.

“That night, our aim was to rob the man and take his car, but I was surprised that after we collected his car, yellow who is like our leader, asked the man to enter the back of the car.

“I didn't know why he did that, and I couldn't argue with him, so we were driving to Kano before the police caught up with us in Kaduna where I was arrested.”
