3rd Person Charged in Rochester Kidnapping, Assault, Robbery Case

Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - Another person is facing bribery and other felony charges in connection with an alleged attack on a self-described “middleman” involved in drug transactions.

The charges against 26-year-old Keji Loro Jubek stem from an incident that occurred on the night of February 5. Criminal complaints filed in Olmsted County Court detail the Rochester police investigation into an attack on a man who told investigators he served as a middleman on behalf of 26-year-old Crestopher Komakic Joseph Lon Ogak.

Third Person Charged in Case

Ogak was earlier charged with aiding and abetting kidnapping, first-degree robbery, second-degree assault, and terroristic threats. A second defendant in the case, 27-year-old Amnabear Omot Nyigwo of Mankato, is also facing a bribery charge.

Taken to Rochester Home and Assaulted

The criminal complaint says the victim told police he was given $1,500 to purchase oxycodone but was unable to obtain the drugs and arranged to meet Ogak at a Rochester gas station to return the money. Instead, the victim reported he was kidnapped by Ogak and taken to his home, where a group of people assaulted him and robbed him of his smartwatch, phone, and hat, along with the $1,500 he had planned to return.

Police later executed a search warrant at Ogak's home, where they reported finding blood evidence and K-57 pills.
