Monday, July 7, 2025 - Police have arrested one Moses for abducting and k!lling his 38-year-old colleague, Victor Ochei, after collecting a N300,000 ransom.
The victim was laid to rest on Friday, July 4, 2025, at his
residence in Umunede in Ika North East Local Government Area of the
state.
The suspect, from Kogi State, resides in Umunede and had
been working with Victor in an oil mill.
It was said that Moses strategically and deceitfully
abducted the tricenarian on Sunday, June 29, 2025, and led him to a bush in
Ute-Okpu where he allegedly k!lled Victor and covered his lifeless body with
palm fronds.
The abductor deceitfully took Victor to an unknown palm tree
plantation in Ute-Okpu, and showed him some of the palm fruits.
It was said that while Victor was looking at the palm fruits
at the palm tree, the miscreant smote him on the back of his head with a stick,
which eventually led to his passing away.
It was also learned that the accused man used Victor's phone
to call the victim's relatives after killing him and demanded a 10-million-naira
ransom.
The depressed family managed to raise 300,000 Naira and send
it to the kidnapper via the Opay account he sent them, not realising Victor was
already dead.
Security personnel eventually caught the suspect, who then
admitted to the crime.
