A female banker, identified simply as Ifeoma, has reportedly been k!lled by suspected kidnappers in Anambra State, despite her family paying a ransom for her release
The victim was reportedly abducted in Onitsha and held captive for several days before her captors contacted her family to demand a ransom.
A family source, speaking on condition of anonymity, disclosed the incident to our correspondent on Tuesday.
The source said, “An undisclosed amount of ransom was paid, but she was not released. Her corpse was eventually found along the road.”
The source continued, “Her body was discovered near Ideani Junction along the Nnobi-Alor Road in Idemili South Local Government Area.
Despite paying the ransom, the kidnappers killed her. It is suspected that she may have recognised the kidnappers, which could be why they decided to eliminate her to avoid being identified. The family is devastated by this tragic news.”
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident and stated that the victim’s body had been recovered.
