Tigidam Bright, a driver, has been arrested alongside two suspected kidnappers – Isaac Michael and Leera Barisua –for their complicity in the kidnapping of his boss’ wife, Mrs Gift Topba, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
They were apprehended by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team. City Round learnt that some gunmen kidnapped Gift, the wife of an Ogoni human rights activist, Gani Topba, on August 25, 2020 at the entrance of an estate where she lives and took her to their den in the Khana area of the state. They reportedly demanded N100m ransom initially but later reduced it to N500,000, which was paid by the family before she was released. IRT detectives investigating the incident were said to have traced a mobile phone the gang used for negotiating the ransom to an unnamed man who assisted them in arresting Michael and Barisua. In the course of interrogation, the duo mentioned Bright as the mastermind who narrated to them of how his boss of eight years allegedly sacked him unjustly and they promised to help deal with him.
