Tunji Disu, the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, recently spoke about the arrest of three individuals directly involved in the assassination of Chief Livingstone Ndidi, along with six others who belong to the same criminal network in Rivers State. He said among those arrested is Nnamdi Emmanuel, also known as BYC, a man with a criminal history.
In a video recently shared by Channels TV from 6:18, Disu said after serving seven years in prison for burglary, BYC turned to more serious crimes, including kidnapping. According to Disu, BYC became part of organized gangs operating in both Anambra and Rivers states, where he was tasked with guarding kidnapped victims. Over time, he grew frustrated with his role and eventually, during a dispute over ransom money, he killed his gang leader and disposed of the body in a nearby river.
After killing the gang leader, Nnamdi stole two AK-47 rifles from the gang and fled to Port Harcourt. There, he joined a new armed robbery gang led by a criminal named Ogolo Promise.
In Disu’s words: “On a particular day after a kidnap and ransom was gotten, BYC got angry with the sharing formula. He killed his gang leader and threw the body into a nearby river. He then stole the 2 Ak-47 riffles belonging to that gang and escaped to Port Harcourt and joined an armed robbery gang led by Ogolo Promise”.
