“The suspects then contacted a man that would take them to the kidnappers in Kogi State for the operation. But, the middle man changed his mind in the final moment and revealed the plan to soldiers guiding the cement company describing Dimgba and Chukwuka as generous and kind”.

However, the soldiers reportedly swooped on the suspects 24 hours before execution of the plot and handed them over to the police who transfered them to the Edo State Command of the Anti-Kidnapping and Cybercrime Units.
