has disclosed that the slain kidnapper
and armed robbery kignpin, Henry
Chibueze, aka Vampire, threatened him
and his family over the N5million bounty
placed on him. The governor, who had
expressed regret over the criminal’s
escape, had pledged a N5million reward
to anyone who offers useful information
leading to the arrest of Vampire.In a
statement after the
wanted criminal was gunned down by
the police, Okorocha, through his Chief
Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, said
“When his partners in crime took him
away from the High Court a few weeks
back, I knew it would not be too long
before his ugly chapter would close.”
Rochas commended the Inspector-
General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, for
dispatching the special squad that
worked with the Imo Police Command to
end the ugly episode.
The governor also commended the
Department of State Services (DSS) who
first arrested Vampire in Owerri as the
arrest raised the consciousness of
security agencies and the public on the
existence of the hardened criminal.
He added that the declaration he made
when he became governor in 2011, that
no criminal would survive in the state
was still valid.
Recall that Police paraded the remains
of Vampire at its headquarters in Owerri
on Thursday.
The police also revealed mind chilling
killings carried out by the gangster and
his followers.
