Youths in Cross River state foiled a kidnap attempt of one Mathias Odo who was abducted by unknown gunmen earlier today in Echumofana Ward, Yala local government area.

It was gathered that the kidnappers were chased from Okuku area, when the news of the kidnap got around. Many youths, okada riders, some local vigilantes and several people of goodwill joined in the chase.

The kidnappers finally abandoned their car at Vandikya, by the K/Ala Federal Highway. The pressure from various groups rescued Mathias Odo and restored his freedom and safety.

The Nigeria Police has commenced investigations as the recovered car has been towed to Okuku Police station.

Sadly, a man was killed by the kidnappers. He was shot from behind after overtaking the gunmen with his bike.

You kidnap a human being like you and probably kill him or her if they fail to pay ransom that’s devilish

If it were to be in Calabar South, they would have burnt them before the arrival of the police

Life prison term for kidnappers should be made into law ASAP!

Seun what the hell is wrong with Nairaland's hosting. You need to either change your hosts or something. Half the time I can't properly comment because of the error message CloudFlare shows. It's discouraging me from commenting!

May the soul of the dead, rest in peace !

Leave him o. Let him be talking.

What’s the bravery here? All I c is stupidity where a rich man who has tasted life was rescued by armless civilian in the expense of a poor man’s life

So people are now doing police works. There is nothing you won't hear in this country


Those polices in that area salaries should be diverted to the guy's family for 20years

Brave youths, RIP to the dead.
