“WE KILLED NURSE, BABY IN SCHOOL AFTER COLLECTING 3 MILLION NAIRA RANSOM” – SECURITY GUARD
“What brought me here is that I killed a child with a nurse in Clear Hope School on July 23. Me and my friend, we demanded for ₦250 ransom. Later on, we later settled for ₦3 million. Which we collected.”
A security guard named David Moses allegedly conspired with his friend, Sunday Irimiya, to kidnap and murder a 55-year-old school nurse, Chinyere Anaene, and a 14-month-old child, Nanenter Asher Yese, at Clear Hope Foundation Academy in Abuja’s Dawaki area. The motive behind the heinous crime was reportedly a dispute over ransom money.
Moses and Irimiya demanded ₦250 million in ransom from the victims’ families, later settling for ₦3 million. According to Moses’ confession, he lured the nurse to a toilet under false pretenses, where Irimiya strangled her with a rope. The child was later killed at Irimiya’s insistence.
Moses was arrested after a police investigation, and he confessed to the crime. The police also arrested the school principal, two other security guards, and the Chief Security Officer of the private security firm for possible negligence and conspiracy.
The police are still working to apprehend Sunday Irimiya, who is currently at large.
It’s worth noting that the incident has sparked widespread outrage, and the police are working to ensure justice is served
