Kidnappers hide N1m ransom in riverbank
ASABA—A five-man kidnap gang, which abducted the wife of a former local government chairman in Delta State, stowed away the N1 million ransom extorted from the family in the bank of a river to blindfold the police.
Vanguard gathered that the police closed in and arrested a member of the gang before the ransom collected from the former chairman could be shared.
Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, who confirmed the arrest to Saturday Vanguard said: “The gang kidnapped one Mrs. Patience Anigala at Owa-Abbi in Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state and obtained N1 million by threat from her husband after stealing N200,000 from the family on the day of the incident.”
