Rivers state operatives have arrested five people on suspicion of having abducted and killed a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Sampson Worlu.
According to Vanguard, the gang allegedly killed the hostage after having collected a ransom of N1.5 million paid for his release. Sampson had served in Imo state before his abduction in Rivers.
However, the suspects were tracked and nabbed by the men of the Rivers state Department of State Security.
All the five are facing charges at a Port Harcourt magistrate court.
The victim’s brother, Charles Worlu, narrated that the kidnappers had made their family pay the ransom twice: first one million naira and then five hundred thousand naira. But they never returned their relative. Now all the family wants is justice, Charles says.
