I Kidnapped My Two Employers For Not Paying - Cult Leader

Operatives of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris’s Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT), have arrested a suspect who abducted his two employers for ransom. The suspect, Saturday Jackson, without mincing words, said that he kidnapped his two employers, simply identified as Solo and Barrister because they didn’t pay him for services rendered.

He said that he assisted them to guard their landed property from land grabbers and when it was time to pay him, they breached the contract. According to Jackson, when he got tired of waiting for his money, he organised for their abduction.

He collected N500, 000 before he released Barrister and N200, 000 from Solo. Asked the names of his employers, he said: “I don’t really know their full names. One is a lawyer, so I call him Barrister.

The second one is Solomon, so I call him Solo.” The police described Jackson as the leader of the notorious Islanders cult group terrorising Port Harcourt city and other parts of Rivers State. Police said that he was also arrested for taking part in several gang related killings, armed robbery and kidnapping.

IRT operatives, led by a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Mr. Abba Kyari, trailed Jackson to the Abuah area of the state, where the suspect was arrested and a locally made rifle and a pump action gun recovered from him. The police further said that Jackson had led members of his cult group in killing several persons, opposed to his group.

The police source further said: “We had received several information that Jackson and his gang had carried out several killings around the Abuah area of Port Harcourt.

The killings by Jackson and his gang members became a source of worry to the state governor. Jackson is the leader of the Islander cult group in Abuah area.

His gang has been involved in a bloody fight for supremacy with members of the Greenlanders cult group. He’s also involved in several kidnapping and his men had coordinated several armed robberies around the state. Police received info of his activities,tracked and arrested him.” The suspect admitted being a cult leader.
