building on Monday October 13th as police stormed
a place he was staying with friends in Malaysia.
According to local media report, a Nigerian student
had lodged a police report in Puchong on Sunday
October 12th claiming his girlfriend had been
kidnapped by Osazuwa and his gang.
"The boyfriend said he received a call from a
suspect who demanded RM40,000 for the release
of his girlfriend, also a Nigerian student here.
We
suspected the kidnappers were people that the
victim must have known. Police immediately
tracked the victim and her kidnappers'
whereabouts." criminal investigator Datuk Mohd
Adnan Abdullah said.
Malaysia police said the victim's boyfriend
cooperated with the police in their investigations and
he managed to coax the suspects into giving him
more time and told them he was gathering the funds.
The police managed to find the victim's location on
Monday. She was being held in a condominium unit
in Taman Melati, Ampang.
"We formed a team to raid the condominium unit
and moved in on the suspects at about 5pm."
Mohd Adnan said when police ambushed the unit
located at the condominium's 13th floor, there were
three Nigerian men and two local women.
The victim was being held in one of the rooms.
"Upon seeing the police, the suspects attempted
to escape. The raiding team arrested two women
and two men," he said.
The other suspect tried to climb down from the
balcony to a unit below.
However, he could not grab hold of anything and fell
to his death.
"The suspect who died was in his 20s and we are
still trying to establish his identity," Mohd Adnan
said.
The victim was unharmed while in the custody of the
suspects. He said investigation are underway to
determine how many other kidnapping cases they
were involved in.
"The gang thought they could get money quickly
by carrying out this crime, but look what had
happened — it has just gone awfully wrong," he
said.
