Boys Sold For N450,000 & Girls N150,000 By Kidnappers
ABAKALIKI — UNIDENTIFIED persons, weekend, kidnapped a
three-year-old boy, Ejike Emmanuel, at Akaeze in Ivo Local Government
Area of the state.
Vanguard gathered that the boy
was abducted in front of his parent’s compound at Obulo-Iyioji village
in Akaeze by two suspected kidnappers, a man and woman, who disguised as
customers to the mother of the victim, Mrs Nnennaya Emmanuel.
Narrating
her ordeal, Mrs Emmanuel said: “I was closing my akara (bean cake)
business for the day and dropped Ejike with his four-year-old sister,
Nkiruka, and crossed over to the other side of the road to keep the
bench I used for the business.
“When I came back,
my son was nowhere to be found. I only saw Nkiruka crying and pointing
her finger at some people on a motorcycle.”
In his
account, the father, Mr Anyim Emmanuel, expressed disbelief that his
child could ever be kidnapped on such an ever busy road and called on
security agencies to help secure the release of his son.
It
was, however, learnt that the parents of the victim raised alarm which
attracted some villagers who quickly organised a search party to locate
the boy’s whereabouts but all efforts proved abortive as the kidnappers
had disappeared.
