The Nigerian man pictured above named Osazuwa allegedly
jumped to his death from a 15-storey building on Monday October
13th as police stormed a place he was staying with friends in
Malaysia.
According to local media report, a Nigerian student had lodged a
police report in Puchong on Sunday October 12th claiming his
girlfriend had been kidnapped by Osazuwa and his gang.
“The boyfriend said he received a call from a suspect who
demanded RM40,000 for the release of his girlfriend, also a
Nigerian student here. We suspected the kidnappers were
people that the victim must have known. Police immediately
tracked the victim and her kidnappers’ whereabouts.”
criminal investigator Datuk Mohd Adnan Abdullah said.
Malaysia police said the victim’s boyfriend cooperated with the
police in their investigations and he managed to coax the suspects
into giving him more time and told them he was gathering the
funds.
The police managed to find the victim’s location on Monday. She
was being held in a condominium unit in Taman Melati, Ampang.
“We formed a team to raid the condominium unit and moved
in on the suspects at about 5pm.”
Mohd Adnan said when police ambushed the unit located at the
condominium’s 13th floor, there were three Nigerian men and two
local women.
The victim was being held in one of the rooms.
“Upon seeing the police, the suspects attempted to escape.
The raiding team arrested two women and two men,” he said.
The other suspect tried to climb down from the balcony to a unit
below.
However, he could not grab hold of anything and fell to his death.
“The suspect who died was in his 20s and we are still trying
to establish his identity,” Mohd Adnan said.
The victim was unharmed while in the custody of the suspects. He
said investigation are underway to determine how many other
kidnapping cases they were involved in.
“The gang thought they could get money quickly by carrying
out this crime, but look what had happened — it has just
gone awfully wrong,” he said.
