Kidnapped Female Banker Killed after Ransom was paid to her Adaptors
A tragic incident has occurred in Anambra State, where a female banker named Ifeoma was kidnapped and ultimately killed by her captors, even after her family paid a ransom. Ifeoma was reportedly taken in Onitsha and held for several days before her abductors reached out to her family with a ransom demand. Although an undisclosed amount was paid, her lifeless body was later found near Ideani Junction along the Nnobi-Alor Road in Idemili South Local Government Area.
A family source, who wished to remain anonymous, shared the family’s heartbreak, suggesting that Ifeoma may have recognized her kidnappers, which could have led them to murder her to prevent identification. The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the incident. SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the command’s spokesperson, stated that the body has been recovered and investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding her death.
This incident has ignited outrage and concern among residents and human rights activists. Harrison Gwamnishu, a human rights advocate, condemned the ongoing loss of lives in the state, expressing frustration over the lack of effective measures to combat such crimes.
He cautioned that without proactive steps, more individuals could become victims of similar tragic events. The community is mourning Ifeoma’s loss and is calling for improved security measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
