Mr Chuks (not real names) narrates his experience in the hands of unknown Gun men. The Kidnapped incident which was recorded by the kidnappers have gone viral on various social media platforms.
He told Imoflash exclusively that as they were coming back from a burial on Friday, 23/11/2021 at Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State, when they approached a very bad spot on Orlu -Ihiala road, a group of over 20 men armed to their teeth double crossed them from the bush and surrounded their vehicle. The incident happened around 6pm when most check points on the road have closed for the day.
He recalled how the men of the underworld decapitated a police man in their presence, their reason for killing the police officer according to Mr Chuks was that he was from a particular part of the country. He described the scene as 'the most horrific moment of my life'.
After the Gunmen kindnapped Mr Chuks and 3 of his co-travelers, they were taken to the Kidnapper's den, where he heard them saying that they have about 4 camps in that area and each camp has between 60-80 armed men.
The visibly traumatized Chuks said they parted away with two million naira before they were sent free the following day, Saturday. The ransom was paid into one of kidnapped victim's account and two of the kidnappers took them to a POS machine where the money was withdrawn.
"They kidnapped us on Friday while coming back from a burial at Orlu and took us to that particular camp blindfolded. They double crossed us with bikes at a bad spot on the road. They beheaded a policeman right before our eyes. The follow up vehicle behind, a truck pulled up and they put us at the boot".Chuks said
