FCT police arrest suspected one-chance syndicate behind k!lling of 23-year-old lady

Published by Linda Ikeji on Sun, 27 Jul 2025


<img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/one_1753603982.jpg">The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested three suspected members of a notorious one-chance robbery syndicate allegedly responsible for the abduction and k!lling of 23-year-old woman, Grace Godwin Alewa.LIB reported that her lifeless body was discovered along Abubakar Street, Alex Ekwueme District, Jabi on Saturday, July 12, 2025.The tragic incident occurred on Friday, July 11, when Grace, a petrol station attendant working in Abuja, boarded a commercial vehicle on her way home from work, unaware that it was operated by kidnappers posing as commercial drivers and passengers.Grace, who hailed from Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, was reportedly abducted and dispossessed of her belongings.The kidnappers subsequently contacted her family, demanding a ransom of N1 million for her release.It remains unclear whether the ransom was paid or negotiations were still ongoing, but Grace was eventually k!lled and her body dumped by the roadside in Jabi.She was found the following morning at about 6:00 a.m., and though rushed to a nearby hospital by the police, she was pronounced d3ad on arrival.The case drew public outrage, particularly after misleading social media narratives suggested she had been involved in a transactional relationship, claims which were debunked by her family and colleagues who insisted she was a hardworking young woman returning from work.Following the incident, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh, ordered a tactical manhunt and charged operatives to intensify efforts to apprehend criminal gangs operating one-chance vehicles in the capital.Acting on the directive, the Scorpion Squad, led by ACP Victor Godfrey, conducted a series of intelligence-driven raids between July 12 and 26, which culminated in the arrest of three suspects: Sunday Uduma a.k.a. Akidi, 39, from Ohafia LGA, Abia State, Godwin Eze, 39, from Cross River State, Nnaiji Ikenna, 33, from Imo State.Police sources told security analyst Zagazola Makama that the arrests were made through actionable reconstructive digital intelligence, and that the suspects have made useful confessional statements linking them to the crime.The black Mazda 323 vehicle allegedly used in the kidnapping and subsequent k!lling of the victim has also been recovered.Further investigations revealed that one of the suspects, Sunday Uduma, had previously been arrested on February 11, 2024, for a similar one-chance robbery case and was remanded at Keffi Correctional Facility.It remains unclear how he regained freedom and resumed criminal activities.The police added that the suspects are currently in custody and are expected to face prosecution upon conclusion of investigations.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/7/fct-police-arrest-suspected-one-chance-syndicate-behind-klling-of-23-year-old-lady-2.html">FCT police arrest suspected one-chance syndicate behind k!lling of 23-year-old lady</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.
