Raphael Ede, EnuguThe suspected abductors of four mourners, who attended a funeral service in Enugu, have demanded N5m as ransom for each of the victims. Ernest and the other victims, including a Catholic Reverend Sister, were kidnapped on Friday on the Nike-Ugwogo-Nsukka Road, while they were returning from the burial of a friend in Nsukka. A relation of one of the victims told our correspondent on Tuesday that the kidnappers had called the family and demanded N5m as ransom for their son’s release. Also, Ernest’s wife, Ogechukwu, told our correspondent that the kidnappers were demanding N5m for his release. The kidnappers called on Saturday and Sunday, asking us to bring N5m for his release, which we don’t have.
