A few months ago, Nigerians were shocked to learn that a social media celebrity, John Lyon, who flaunts millions of dollars on social media, confessed to his involvement in two kidnappings.

Ewa, a 30-year-old man from the Akwagom-Eruan Community in Cross River State’s Boki LGA, was apprehended alongside his gang leader, Emmanuel Angase.

While being paraded by police a few months ago, John confessed to the crimes and claimed that his friends (the kidnap gang) asked him to give them the address of his former boss, Danjuma Omeje, and that a few days later, they kidnapped him and collected a ransom of N45 million from him.

He stated that after the operation, they gave him N1.5 million as assistance to cover his sick mother’s hospital bills.

He said, “I also gave them the address of one Akeem Olushola, who they also kidnapped and collected N80 million as ransom. After that operation they gave me N3.5 million.”

Meanwhile, a police investigation revealed that the gang ran a kidnapping camp near Oluasiri in Nembe Local Government Area, with his second in command, Gbalipre Gamage, still at large.
