Two suspected kidnappers who beat a lecturer
of the University of Port Harcourt to death
even after collecting a ransome of N1.1
million from his family, have been arrested by
the police.
The suspects, Patrick Koyi and Chituru
Ferdinand, were said to have abducted Dr.
Emmanuel Chinasa Obi in September 2016 but
refused to release him even after collecting
the money.
His decomposing corpse, according to the
State Police Command, was later discovered
where the kidnappers had dumped it in a
bush.
A police source close to the case said:
“The lecturer was murdered by his kidnappers
after a ransom of N1.1 m was paid in two
installments to them.
The kidnappers first received a ransom of
N700, 000 from his family while he was alive,
then they paid an additional N400,000 after
he was killed.
When the kidnappers refused to release the
lecturer, the family became worried and
informed the police.”
Koyi was reportedly arrested in Port Harcourt
after the late lecturer’s Techno phone was
traced to him and his confession led to the
arrest of Ferdinand whom he fingered as the
mastermind of the abduction.
During interrogation, Ferdinand allegedly told
the police that the lecturer attracted the
gang’s attention after they discovered he was
building a duplex in his village at Rumuji
Town.

kidnappers have advised people no to build
duplex but only bungalow so they wouldn't
attract kidnappers like them.[/color]
