Why I Was Kidnapped - Pete Edochie by mogentle(m): 11:50am On Aug 19, 2009 |
http://www.tribune.com.ng/19082009/news/news12.html ACE Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, on Tuesday, said that his kidnappers told him that he was seized in protest of the obscene display of Nigeria’s stolen wealth by politicians. Edochie, in an interview monitored on the Africa Independent Television (AIT), on Tuesday afternoon, said he was well treated by his captors for the 24 hours he was with them, noting that his kidnappers accorded him much respect and dignity. He revealed his kidnappers told him they were not happy with the situation in the country. He said they told him that they were into the criminal act because they wanted to get their own share of the wealth being displayed by politicians. He said the kidnappers stated that although, people were repulsed by the act of seizing people, there was nothing else they could do. He said they refrained from shooting victims to show Nigerians that they were just focused on making money and not taking lives. Edochie, who said they were youngmen, said he was grateful to them for the respect they accorded him. He appreciated Nigerians for the concern during his captivity, saying he had to switch off his phone because he was feeling pains in both ears from taking calls. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NLDers, Does the bad situation of our economy substantiate the reason for Kidnapping? |

Why is the man trying to paint a very bad act good. Those guys are simply lazy and pure criminals that want the good things of life money can buy, but are so lazy to think of how to earn such money in a legit manner. Arrant nonsense. 1 Like |
