The abductors of a high profile Imo Traditional Ruler, HRH Eze Joel Udenkwo, are asking for a whopping N200 million in ransom money for his release.
He is the Traditional Ruler of Umudim autonomous community in Nkwerre Local Government Area.
Udenkwo, also, owner of a chain of businesses, was abducted on Friday in front of his Electronic Plaza, Udekings Ltd, located at No. 63 on the very busy Tetlow road in Owerri, Imo State Capital City. The abduction took place at about 7.00pm as he prepared to leave office for home, sending scores of people on a race for their lives.
The abductors, after a 48-hour anxious wait by family, finally, made contacts on Sunday, September 11, 2022, using the Traditional Rulers phone number.
His abduction follows the sacrilegious abduction of a couple of Traditional Rulers in the State months ago. About four of them have been killed, including two who were shot dead when gunmen invaded the venue of their meeting at the Headquarters of Njaba Local Government Area of the State. There is no statement yet from the Police Command while fear is the word in his Community.
