After his rescue by the police, the boy with his family visited the Delta state Commissioner of Police, Zanna Ibrahim, and his men, bearing a “thank you” card to thank them for their effort at rescuing him.

”Sometime in August 2016, seven-year-old Master Moses Iloba was kidnapped in Okpanam community; his parents reported the incident to the police that the child was missing.

However, on January 26, one Abigail Nwakama, aka ‘Madam Cash’ and Ifeoma Anyafike were arrested in connection with the crime. Their arrest led to the rescue of the victim with the aid of the second suspect.

You are aware of the notorious Madam Cash. She is back again in the dock. In fact, we are at a loss as to how this woman got off the hook after we sent her to the court,” the CP narrated.

  • You don’t know how madam cash got off the hook, really Nigerian police should be up in their A-game. Kidnapping is not something you play with, this madam cash woman is a notorious kidnapper, why are you sending her to court and she’s getting away from there???? It’s either you kill her or send her to the maximum security.
