A Lagos-based man, Mathew Isichei Chukwuebuka, has narrated how he mysteriously found himself in Ibadan, Oyo State, after answering a phone call by kidnappers.
The victim told the Lagos State Police Command that he was called through his phone and doesn’t know how he got to Ibadan.
Mathew said upon his arrival, he was given something from a black pot to eat, causing him to lose his senses.
Meanwhile, the police command has arrested two suspected kidnappers who abducted the 19 year old man Chukwuemeka.
Spokesperson of the state police command, Bala Elkana, in a statement on Wednesday, said the command received a petition regarding the abduction of Mathew.
Acting on a credible intelligence with the support of its Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) , the police arrested two suspects at Ibadan namely, Thoa Akorede and Alhaji Muhibudeen Akorede.
“He was ordered to surrender his phone to them and the phone was programmed to reject any incoming calls except the only line that they were demanding the ransom through. The victim told the police that his abductors collected all the money in his possession and were demanding for more. He said they also took him to an ATM point where they withdrew the sum of N10,000 from his account. They demanded the sum of thirty million Naira (30,000,000) to be paid into the victim’s bank account as ransom,” the police added.
