Elo Ogidi, Christ Embassy Kidnap: Fraudsters Contact Family Members by information1: 11:13am On Jul 16, 2018
@Talkgeria

The family members of a missing four-year-old, Elo Ogidi, have been left confused as different kidnap gangs have called to demand ransom for her release.

PUNCH Metro had reported that Elo got missing during a church service at the headquarters of the Christ Embassy in Oregun, Lagos.

Elo was reported with the maid during the church’s children thanksgiving service last Sunday when she went missing.

Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone, Elo’s father, Afokoghene Ogidi, said different kidnappers had called the family claiming to have kidnapped Elo, adding that the gangs demanded different ransom.

He said, “Several people have been calling us, demanding ransom but they are fraudsters that picked our numbers from the flyers around.

“We believe that these fraudsters are from the same place using different numbers.

“One of them called and demanded N2.5m, telling me that if I did not provide the money within 24 hours, he would kill my daughter. He later called me back that day demanding N500,000 to feed my baby.

“When I got home, I didn’t call him back because I know a kidnapper will not ask for feeding upkeep.”

Ogidi, who further disclosed that he tracked the phone number of the gang which revealed the location they were calling from, said he told the member to put his daughter on the telephone.

“He called me the second day and told me that I did not want to comply and I said him I would comply, adding that I would give him more than the amount he asked for if only he could allow me to hear my daughter’s voice.

“But he could not provide my daughter; he was repeating the same statement of me not complying. With the trauma I was going through, I told him I know his location, and I will get him arrested, so he stopped calling,” Ogidi said.

Ogidi, who noted that another kidnap gang called his sister to demand N18m ransom, said all the gangs that called the family had their locations in Port-Harcourt.

He said, “Another gang called my sister to demand N18m, and she told them that she wanted to hear her daughter’s voice, the fraudsters gave the phone to an adult to mimic baby’s voice.”

Ogidi, who told PUNCH Metro that the family had been traumatized as a result of the incident, said he could not wait to have his daughter back.

It's simple now, if they can't provide picture or audio evidence that the child is with them, then the kidnapper is fake.

this shouldn't be happening to a grieving family. we must put in place measures to ensure that anybody that choose to venture in the infamous business of forgery, thuggery and fraudery will be easily and effectively prosecuted to the highest extent of the law. with this, I would like to sympathize with every single Nigerian family that have lost their loved ones to the ugly hands of cretinous individuals who pride themselves in cheating people out of their hard earned valuables.

Those of you living in Abuja, FCT that have place value on their vehicle should bring in their vehicle to our Ultra Modern Vehicle Repair Facility for a specialized computer based diagnostics backed by a comprehensive manual diagnostics procedure that would figure out anything at all that is wrong with your vehicle. Now the beauty of our service is that after the diagnostics we recommend actions that must be taken to put the vehicle in order, If you run any of the repairs in our workshop we will return the money you paid for diagnostics back to you in full. We are located at Jahi, Abuja Call Mr Fix it now: 08189742614

Some Nigerians are the definition of wickedness.

And you will be amazed, many that do these things, at the back of their minds, pray that such evil don't happen to their own.

i think the best federal govt should do is to execute on site any kidnapper or related stories. until death penalty is adopted and clearly implemented i dont think this mayhem can be curb. very soon with the trend of kidnappers in nigeria, kidnappers will resort to keeping hostage of anyone irrespective of how much money they could realise so far money will drop. this is the worst inhuman treatment.

Kidnappers seldom hold babies because they know it is more of wahala for them to take care of the toddler. This girl must have been abducted by either traffickers or ritualists. It will be a special miracle from God if she is still found alive.

The family should ignore every call from kidnappers. They are likely fraudsters. They should intensive their prayers, and also work discreetly with security agencies and talk less to the public.
