Kidnappers

A new strategy has been devised by kidnappers in Rivers State as they explore the unemployment in the country their bait.

They send sms to the public inviting people for job interviews and get them kidnapped upon their arrival for the ‘job interviews’.


A government employee named Joseph revealed to Southern City News how a son to one his friend’s cousin was abducted after responding to one of such invitation for a ‘job interview.’

He used the opportunity to warn the public not to honour any sort of job interview sent through sms if the person never made such application.

As at Saturday, the family members of the victim were asked to pay the sum N5m as ransom, but later reduced it to N2.5m which is still very difficult for the family to pay.

The victims life is now on the line as they have threatened to kill him if the ransom is not paid.

When the State Police command was contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Nnamdi Omoni told Southern City News that the Anti-kidnapping Unit of would be briefed.


He further assured that measures would be put in place to arrest those behind the crime.
