Bandits Kidnap Corpse Of Augustine Ikwue, Mourners, Demand ₦450M Ransom by treesun(op): 7:43pm On Jul 11
Armed men suspected to be kidnappers have reportedly abducted the remains of a late Deputy Corps Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Augustine O. Ikwue, including the mourners accompanying him to his hometown at Otukpo in Benue state.

The vehicle conveying the corpse ran into ambush along Ochadamu-Ejule road in Ofu local government of Kogi state around 6pm, on Thursday.

The FRSC officer reportedly died in Osogbo, capital of Osun state, after a brief illness.

The abductors have reportedly reached the family, demanding N450m for the victims to regain their freedom.

The Kogi state sector Commander of FRSC, Lawal Fagge, confirmed the incident, saying nine mourners, including two operatives of the commission, were abducted in the attack.

He said the corpse was later abandoned around Ejule community, and has been handed over to the family for burial, while effort is being intensified to rescue the kidnap victims.

We recovered the corpse of the officer in Ejule community on Friday after frantic searching , and handed it over to the family. He was buried on Saturday in his home town at Otukpo in Benue.

The abductors used the cellphone of the deceased officer, and called his wife, demanding huge sum of money for those in their captivity to regain their freedom,” Fagge said.

Security operatives, including the Army, police, hunters and vigilantes were said to have been mobilised to the area in an attempt to rescue the kidnap victims and possibly apprehend their assailants.

Several people are raising concern over the incident, stressing that the bandits have no respect for the dead.

Double wahala for dead body and the owner of dead body.

How can all this rubbish be happening and no security chief has been fired.

Politicians are busy campaigning and citizens are busy moving on because it's just another day in Naija.

This isn't democracy, this is demonstration of craze with zombies as followers.
Fela sang about it and Nnamdi Kanu predicted it.

Which way Nigeria.....

Sometimes when you lack logical input into a discussion or topic, just read and pass. No reward for comments

The side effect of ransom payment. Paying them ransom is like telling them "unto the next one"

Exactly what I asked earlier when the students were released
What really is stopping this kidnappers from simply going to another school or places to kidnap new fresh batches

All my life, I have never heard of the kidnap of a non-living thing.
