THE people of Awara community in Ohaji/Egbe­ma Local Government Area, Imo State are in still in shock, after learning from the police that two nephews of Mrs Ogo Omereji, a 63-year-old grandmother, masterminded her abduction and tortured her to death, after collect­ing ransom from the relations.

The whole community trooped out and wailed when a team from the Imo State Police Command visited the quiet rural community to exhume the body of the woman, who was buried in a shallow grave after she died in the custody of her abductors in the forest, where they kept her.

Omereji’s untimely journey to the great beyond began on September 26, 2015, when she was kidnapped in her farm, as the Imo State Commis­sioner of Police, Mr Taiwo Lakanu, told Sunday Sun reporter in his office at the headquarters of the command in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

The abduction was executed by two nephews of the victim, whose names were given as Emeka Chin­edu, 27, and Peter Obido, 28, with the active partici­pation of two accomplices, namely, 26-year-old Gift Emeka and Sunday Uchenna, who is 28 years old.

The evil four kept the woman in the forest for three months in the most tortuous and inhumane condition and demanded N2million ransom from the family.

The heart of men is foolishly wicked.

Where did man learn this barbaric act from? One can no longer dress rich, look fresh, or drive rich, even if one is just an average citizen, lest one becomes a victim. These reprobates, rather than release their victims, kill them in order to cover their tracks.

If only there were technological firms that deal in GPS tracking chips, which would be implanted in the body. It would make it easier for security agencies to track the location of kidnapped victims.

I'll suggest Insurance companies introduce a human theft insurance plan. Prospects can have themselves insured against human theft(kidnapped). The only setback is 'faking a kidnap'.
