The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has recovered the sport utility vehicle of the abducted Principal of Madonna Community Secondary School in the Oruk Anam Local Government Area of State, Mr Monday Ekoriko.
This came as the kidnappers contacted the victim’s family, demanding N50m ransom.
Ekoriko was abducted by gunmen at his country home in Udianga Enem village in the Etim Ekpo LGA last Saturday, while visiting to attend a church service at the United Evangelical Church which he built in the community.
Speaking with journalists on Friday, in Uyo, the state capital, his eldest son, Menyene, said, “they (the hoodlums) called me on the phone and the number was hidden. They told us to arrange N50m before my father could be released. The discussion was so brief and sharp with a threat that some people have paid for my father to be killed, that only a higher amount would safe him.’’
“The synergy between sister agencies is very cordial and robust. I thank the Commanding Officer of FOB Badagry for his wonderful support and also, the Nigerian Customs Service for their great efforts too,’’ Maiyami said.
