SHOCKING: ‘We Were Paid N150,000 To Kill School Proprietor’

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, Lagos, has
arrested three men, who claimed they were
contracted to kill a 65-year-old school proprietress,
Mrs. Veronica Okenido,

A police source told Saturday PUNCH on Friday that
the leader of the gang was 25-year-old Jude
Ekpenisi, who confessed that were paid by an
undisclosed person to assassinate the woman.

According to a statement Jude made, they pitied
Okenido because she is a Christian.
“We had compassion on the woman and rejected
the N150,000 we were offered but asked the
woman to pay us off with the same amount,” the
suspect said.

The other two suspects are Jude’s brother, 22-year-
old David, and Philemon Uwadi, also 22.
After a report was made to the police, the officer-
in-charge, SARS, Superintendent of Police Abba
Kyari, tracked down the gang leader through his
brother’s phone line.

Our source said, “Jude was arrested after he was
lured out by a promise of a lucrative employment
in a big church. A SARS operative posed as the
pastor.

“The third suspect, Uwadi, reported at the SARS
Scorpion Building by himself not knowing that
Jude had been arrested in connection with the
assassination attempt they had abandoned
because their victim was not cooperating.”
David was arrested when he went to visit his
brother at SARS office.

Jude said his house shares a fence with Okenido’s
school and that the woman even knew him but
had no idea he was the one who planned the
kidnap.

The spokesperson for the Lagos State Police
Command, Ngozi Braide, was not available for
comment as she was said to have travelled.
