In a joint operation on Thursday, Philippine authorities arrested five Nigerians in Angeles City, Pampanga, for allegedly kidnapping a fellow Nigerian. The suspects Evans Enwwereaku Chinemerem, David Chidera Ibegbulamo, Nwokeke Christian Ihechukwu, Nwokeke Cajothan Chinemmerem, and Okonkwo Emmanuel Kosiso – now face criminal charges, including kidnapping for ransom and violating the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act (Republic Act 10591).
The Central Luzon Police, led by Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan, reported that the arrests occurred around 5 a.m. at the suspects’ hideout in Barangay Malabanias. Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group operatives, with support from Mabalacat City and Angeles City police, coordinated the operation based on intelligence from the Anti-Kidnapping Group. Authorities allege that the group kidnapped Kingsley Chukwuemeka Ikeagwuana, a Nigerian student in Paranaque City, and held him for ransom.
Maranan emphasized the operation’s success as a warning against criminal activities, noting that three firearms, including two .45 caliber pistols and a .38 caliber revolver, along with ammunition, were seized from the suspects.
