ONE of the most wanted kidnappers in Delta State has a doctorate degree (Ph.D) in Mechanical Engineering, the state commissioner of police, Mr Ikechukwu Aduba, has said.

Speaking in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune in Asaba, Aduba said the man (name witheld) hails from Kokori area in Ethiope Local Government Area of the state, adding that the criminal had become a problem, as he masterminded most of the abduction cases in the state.

The commissioner disclosed that over 300 kidnappers and robbers had either been arrested or killed in the state since March.

According to him, some of the suspected kidnappers were acquitted because victims refused to testify in court.

Aduba said controversies over occupier of traditional stools in some communities in the area also affected the fight against crimes in the state, adding that “the police need information and we expect the traditional rulers to cooperate with us.”

He added that about six policemen had been dismissed over various offences.

schools need to do more to monitor their graduates.

form strong alumni associations, etc.

I need to see his resume.
Can anyone supply us with his CV of kidnappiology career?
Please. . .

Education alone cannot change a man only the Word of God which is sharper than any two egded sword can pierce the realm of reasoning and of the shallow mind into the heart transforming ones thought pattern for as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. If you have not changed the man's heart and you merely educate his mind, you have empowered another threat to society. The more educated, the more sophisticated his approach to crime.

Whereas the school is the institution designed to reach the head, the church is the only God ordained institution designed to reach the heart. And the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.
Let pastors rise to their responsibilities and our society will be a better place

Whether he is employed or not ,that isn't a justification for him to become a menace to the society.

What do you expect someone who has a Phd in Criminology to do? Is it to be a Pilot or Sailor? Lol
God save us in dis country!

Some mofos will still come here and state the reason of unemployment o.MTCHEEW

see weting goodluck cus na,lol

Is dat all? NEXT

What we have in this country are evil genus. People using PhD to do Yahoo Yahoo doctors, lawyers e.t.c. becoming pastors with the vast knowledge they have acquired to exploit the masses. Properly educated people masterminding the criminal world.If these very smart people would only use their talents the right way i tell you no country in this world can come close to us in development may God help us and stir our minds towards the right direction.

never knew

And still here on Nairaland,some people were mocking at honest Phd holders who applied for Dangote driving job. They would still come up to despise this too. Using Phd to work with Dangote and using it to do kidnapping,which is better?

So what does d COP want from us? If na big man pickin dem go soon release am. We all know wat we are doing in dis country. Police have lost their integrity a long tym ago

What do you expect in a society where illiterate criminals are celebrated and empowered by government? Whether people believe it or not Nigeria honors and protects criminals more than sound academic and moral profile. The man will soon become a celebrity. He will be honored like his other militant brothers as well. Though I doubt the veracity of the report. Why did they not give his name?

What message is this report trying to convey? The reporter tells us that the kidnapper is a PhD holder and where he is from. He doesn't mention his name. How can the community help with the investigation? Or is this report trying to report the identity of the most wanted kidnapper in the state or mocking PhD holders? For real, I don't understand its purpose.

mko abiola: Who cares?

Phd holder doesn't wants to die of hunger.lol

is it because of hunger and puverty he need to kidnap and killed his victim. You are...

Worlds Most Corrupt Leader is also a PH.D holder. Don't ask me if you want to know where he stays, stroll to Aso Rock gate and say you want to see Oga patapata.

A doctorate degree holder= a kidnapper, this is an indication dt this country is sick and our educational system is dead!

May God heal our country and raise to life again our educational system.[color=#000099]

Did he bag his phD in Nigeria? How old is the man? Did the report say he couldn't defend his phD? A phD in mech engrg is not groundnut in Nigeria my dear. His must be a case of gross injustice that pervades the Niger Delta in particular and Nigeria at large! In Nigeria, if You want to follow due process you cant make it big. This nation has indeed become a jungle! Many people with first class are roaming the street seeking jobs in a country where a good number of their lecturers have third class!

What sort of 'beer parlor' and 'hair salon gossip' report is this?


All I see here are excuses as to why the police is failing in delta state.


An unnamed, poorly described PhD holder is the head of kidnapping, and yet they expect people to come forward with useful information ;


Victims refuse to testify in court ;


Traditional rulers do not cooperate with them due to controversies over who occupies the position, and


They have six unnamed corrupt police officers!!



After hearing all this, the best caption tribune could come up with is "Most Wanted Kidnapper In Delta State Is A PhD Holder — Commissioner Of Police"


And as usual, many people would just read the caption and start making silly comments, without even reading the complete article.

Speaking in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune in Asaba, Aduba said the man (name witheld) hails from Kokori area in Ethiope Local Government Area of the state, adding that the criminal had become a problem, as he masterminded most of the abduction cases in the state. ... Just like someone a phd holder also ( name withheld) has master minded the looting of the national treasury with his fellow 'hat' and 'agbada' wearing hawks pecking on every available resources and protecting each other by hitting the masses's heads together through ethnoreligious brouhaha.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, PhD holder... Nigerian Degree, right?

Nigeria's President is a PhD holder too. Something tells me in other climes hed never make it out of 12th grade. But, na Naija now, abi?

. . .Unabomber playing out

Yes, i've witnessed it. A third class graduate was given a lecturing job in d school she graduated from but d first class graduates were not even considered.They were all in same class and department. Only God can save us in dis co3.

Big deal. Anyone knows you can buy a fake Phd for $100 from degree mills abroad. Even Dokubo and Tompolo have one.

If a society doesn't provide a platform for people to develop themselves, and channels through which man can use his knowledge to benefit his environment, that society shouldn't complain when such knowledge is used against it!!!

What's with this ''names witheld" thing? Even a criminal's name is also classified, and it's not like they are going to catch him!

Truckpusher: Whether he is employed or not ,that isn't a justification for him to become a menace to the society.

Na true u talk, especially as he's a mechanical engineering Phd holder, I wander why he can't use his skill to create a great career for himself so he can live comfortably. I guess this is the absolute result of laziness, lack of vision n greed.
May d cruel arms of the law deal with him Soonest!

Did you just say he should use his brain...? Hes been using his brain nau, btw they should do more investigation, maybe his Phd is in kidnapping.

please why would a criminal's in wanting names be withheld. there is something fishy going on . this people are just plating with our intelligence...
