In a statement, the command explained that the kidnappers, whose names were given as Ekene Nwankwo from Okposi in Ebonyi State, Emeka Igwe from Awka Etiti, Chidi Agu and Ebuka from Enugu State were trailed to their hideouts after they allegedly kidnapped one Ekene Okonkwo, who died in their hands last month.
According to the statement signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu, the suspects had conspired and abducted their victim (now deceased) from Affa in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu, while he was returning from a traditional marriage in his vehicle on November 21.
“They took him to a nearby bush by old Nsukka Abor road 9th mile corner, Enugu, where they tied his hands and legs with rope and demanded for the sum of N10 naira ransom from his relations. They also denied him food and water for seven days after beating him while in captivity”, he said.
It was further gathered that their victim, Okonkwo had died inside the bush, while the suspects on noticing the sad development had abandoned his corpse and fled to an unknown destination.
