KIDNAPPING IN STYLE : Physically challenged son kidnaps mother, demands N20 million ransom

It’s surprising and at times shocking when you get to hear or read some of the desperate measures and tactics that people actually adopt today all in a bid to have money…
A physically–challenged barber, abducted his mother, Mrs. Kate Emienor, detained her for 10 days at a hideout in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State and demanded N20 million ransom to secure her freedom.
Though he has been nabbed by the police, the barber allegedly abducted his mother, February 5, in Benin City, where he operated a barbing salon, and whisked her to a hideout in Ogwashi-Uku.
He reportedly alerted his elder brother, based overseas, that their mother was kidnapped and the abductors were demanding N20 million ransom to release her – the ransom was later reduced to N10 million when his brother could not raise the N20 million.
Unknown to the ‘cunning’ son, the police were alerted about the purported kidnap and they put in place strategies to track the abductors – and he was found!

Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, confirmed the incident,saying “It is true, both the son and mother that was kidnapped are in our custody.” adding that the suspect might have brainwashed his mother into agreeing to be abducted in order to obtain money from her son living outside the country.
“It is likely the suspect will be charged to court for the kidnap of his mother, but the mother will be used as a key witness since it was obvious she fell for the trap.” a police source said.
