Raymond bought a Lexus RS 330 from N5 million ransom realised from one of their kidnappings.“Raymond collected the ransom and fled. They confirmed that Raymond bought a Lexus from the money and spent the remaining part of the ransom with his girlfriends. According to the suspects, they lured Raymond somewhere and killed him.
