The hitherto most wanted kidnapper and alleged kingpin of an armed robbery gang that terrorised the South-South and South-East regions of the country, Kelvin Oniarah Eziegbe, was yesterday, docked before an Abuja Chief Magistrate's Court sitting at Wuse Zone 2.
.
Kelvin, who was arraigned alongside two of his foremost gang members, Frank Azuekoh and Haruna Momoh, were said to have, among other criminal activities, masterminded the recent abduction of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Chief Mike Ozehkome, one Dr. Chudi Nwike, and Professor Hope Eghagha.
.
It will be recalled that a combined team of soldiers and operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, had on September 25, arrested the accused persons at an undisclosed hotel in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
.
The same day, a shootout had occurred between Kelvin's 'boys' in his country home, Kokori, Ethiope East Local Government Area, Delta State, and soldiers, who arrested the Chief Priest (Ose Igba) of Kokori, accused of providing spiritual guidance and charms for Kelvin and his gang.
