He was paraded before newsmen on Tuesday by the state police command, in Asaba, the state capital.
In his confession, Ifeanyi said he intended to use the money he would have extorted from his uncle to complete his own father’s house in Rivers state.
He said, “I left Rivers for Delta state to plan my kidnap so that I can collect money from my uncle to complete my father’s house in the village.
“The gang began to threaten me when my uncle refused to pay the ransom so I had to run away.
“I was apprehended while running away from my other accomplices,” he added.
