43-Year Old Man Who Fathers 10Children Kills 5-Year Old Neighbour's SonBecause He Couldn't Meet His N5M DemandAfter Kidnapping Son

The State Security Service has arrested a father of 10,
Saturday Dewakei, who allegedly kidnapped Abubakar
Adamu, the five-year-old son of his neighbour and killed
him when his demand for a N5m ransom was not met.
Dewakei, 43, was said to have entered his neighbour’s
room at Aso ‘C’ Gbagalape, Mararaba area of Abuja
through the ceiling on April 19, 2013 and abducted Adamu
while he was asleep.

The SSS tendered the remains of the victim on Wednesday,
which were mainly bones, including his ribs, femur, dental
cavity and a locally-made pistol that was recovered from the
suspect.

Parading the suspect in Abuja on Wednesday, the SSS
Deputy Director, Operations, FCT Command, Ibrahim Halilu,
explained that Dewakei killed the boy in an uncompleted
building and dumped his body in a water-filled soakaway
when the ransom he demanded was not paid.

He stated that the victim’s father, identified as Isah, paid
Dewakei N100,000, adding that the suspect murdered
Adamu because he was dissatisfied with the amount.

Halilu stated that Dewakei was apprehended by operatives
when he accepted the offer of additional N300,000 after
he had killed his victim.
Dewakei, who appealed to Isah for forgiveness, said he
kidnapped the boy.

He said, “I did not kill him. The victim was running away
and he fell into the soakaway.

“I brought him out, but he had died because his hands were
tied. The boy died in my arms; the parents should please
forgive me. I only kidnapped him to make small money.”
