The Nigeria Police Force has paraded suspected members of a notorious “one chance” syndicate accused of abducting, torturing, and k!lling two nurses in the Federal Capital Territory, despite allegedly receiving ransom payments from victims’ families.

According to police investigations, the suspects were linked to the d3aths of Nurse Chinemerem Chukwumezie and Nurse Chinenye Bridget Abia, who were reportedly k!lled about a month apart.

Police said Chinenye was abd¥cted while commuting within Abuja and taken to a location where she was held captive. Her family allegedly paid ₦3.5 million in ransom in an effort to secure her release.

Investigators stated that despite receiving the money, the k!dnappers allegedly k!lled her and later dumped her body near Katanpi Bridge along the Kubwa Expressway.

During a crime scene reconstruction exercise, the suspects reportedly demonstrated how they lured passengers into vehicles, overpowered them, and restrained them before carrying out robberies and k!dnappings.

According to police findings, the group allegedly focused on female passengers, believing they would be easier to subdue during att@cks.

One survivor who encountered the gang recounted her ordeal, describing the lasting psychological impact of the incident. She said she continues to experience fear when entering vehicles and disclosed that she lost more than ₦11.5 million and other valuables to the suspects.

The case has sparked outrage and renewed concerns about the activities of “one chance” cr!minal networks operating in and around Abuja, with many Nigerians calling for stronger security measures and swift prosecution of those involved.
