Nigerian Kidnapper Beg Victims For Forgiveness After His Arrest In Ghana

A young Nigerian, Sampson Agarlor who kidnapped Canadian students in faraway Ghana has begged his victims for mercy and everyone he has hurt.

Agarlor made a U-turn on Monday at the courtroom as reported by the Ghana News Agency.

“I take this opportunity to apologise to the affected Canadian ladies and their families, Ghana and Nigeria and other persons affected by our actions,” Agarlor who is alleged to be the leader of the gang said before an Accra High Court hearing the case.

He also asked for a favour from the court: to order their detention in prison custody, instead of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) cells, where he alleged he and gang members had been tortured.

Agarlor, also known as Romeo explained that

“the BNI and the CID exerted torture on me while forcing me to accept a statement against myself. Am not saying am innocent, I played some roles that is the fact, but definitely not all the roles am accused of”.

He claimed that the BNI officials had totally cut them off from interacting with their families, and said if they were remanded in prison custody, they could get people to talk to and receive visitors.

Agarlor and seven other suspects are being tried for the alleged kidnapping of two Canadians ladies,  Miss Lauren Patricia Catherine Tilley and Miss Bailey Jordan Chilly, in Kumasi, on June 4.
