They invited her to Warri with the promise to make her
Dangote brand ambassador. On getting to Warri, Sa’adat was kidnapped and taken
to a place on the outskirts of Ozoro town in Isoko Local Government Area in
Delta state. The kidnappers then contacted her family and asked for N20m
ransom, which was supposed to be paid into a Malaysian account. We began
a manhunt for them after they contacted the girl’s family but only one of them

When they were not forthcoming with the money, we brought it
down to N15 million and then N10 million. I was the one staying with the victim
in our hideout. We were using the quarters of one of our members, Destiny.
We are five in number and I was promised a huge sum. Other gang members
are Destiny, Marcus Omajuwa, Ugada and Chuka.
We are all students of Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, ND 1.
I was studying Computer Science. She was in our hideout for about two
weeks. We asked the Special Adviser to pay the ransom into a Malaysian account
that one Fred helped us to set up. None of us
raped her. Destiny told us we were only going to make money from her family,
and not to assault her”
