woman, Mrs. Madueke, who was abducted by gunmen
suspected to be ransom kidnappers are now being grilled by
men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in Awkuzu in
connection with the kidnap.
However, jubilation rented the air yesterday at Adazi-Ani
community in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra
State, following the nonagenarian's release after ransom
payment.
Gunmen abducted Madueke in her home about eight days ago
and demanded N50 million ransom as a condition for her
release but following series of negotiations between her
family and the kidnappers, they agreed on an unspecified
amount of ransom which was paid to them before they
released her early yesterday.
A close associate of the family, Chief G. U. Okeke who is
also a native of Adazi-Ani, said in a telephone chat,
yesterday, that the ransom was taken to the kidnappers
somewhere in Nsukka,Enugu State, as they dictated, while
victim was dropped at Abagana Junction in Njikoka Local
Government Area of Anambra State, from where the family
picked her up.
Okeke who is the Chairman of G.U.O. Motors Limited, said
the victim's grand son and her driver are now being grilled
over the kidnap.
At press time, the officer in-charge of SARS, James Nwafor,
a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, could not comment
on the matter when contacted on phone as he said he was busy
in a field operation.
