Tension is high in Nimbo community, Uzo-
Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State
following the non-release of Mr. Ejiofor
Enechi, the Security adviser to the council
chairman, Hon. Cornnel Onwubuya, two
months after he was kidnapped.

Our correspondent reports that hope of the
victim’s family dimmed further following the
arrest of two of the suspected kidnappers,
who in their confessional statements, said
they left the victim, Ejiofor, in the custody of
their fleeing gang members two months ago.

Nimbo is the same community, which came
under heavy attack from Fulani herdsmen,
last year, an incident, which left scores dead.

A relation of the victim, who spoke on the
development expressed sadness and grief,
even as he pleaded with the kidnappers to
free his brother unhurt.

“I don’t want to believe that Ejiofor is dead;

he has been missing for the past two months;
he was kidnapped on his way home and the
kidnappers collected N2m ransom.

“But, as I speak to you, he is nowhere to be
found; this has convinced us that it was not
ordinary kidnap.

“We got more shocker when the two suspects
arrested by the police said they carried out
the dastardly act in connivance with some
members of the Nimbo vigilante group.

“We learnt that the kidnap was planned and
executed by members of this very community
because they felt Ejiofor was frustrating some
of their criminal acts.
“We are begging them to please release him;

even if they have killed him, let them make
his corpse available so that we can give his a
decent burial.

“Let the police do their work too because the
kidnappers are not strangers. An attempt has
been made for once to arrest them but they
fled since then. We cannot sleep for two
months now as a result of this uncertainty”,
he lamented.
