Emenike Soronnadi, a kidnap victim, has recounted his ordeal in the hands of his abductors.
“After about 30 minutes of driving, they transferred me into another waiting car. We later arrived to a community in Gokana council. There, I was kept in a house. Around midnight, they took me on a motorbike through a bush path to their camp. While still blindfolded, my abductors chained my legs and threatened to kill me,” he said.
Emenike said the kidnappers requested phone numbers of his wife and friends, promising that he would not be tortured if family and friends should cooperate with them. He said that on the day of his release, a member of the gang entered his cell around 7p.m, removed the bound on his legs and ordered him to put on his clothes.
