Banker Killed After Family Pays Ransom in Anambra Kidnapping

A banker has tragically lost her life despite her family paying a ransom for her release after she was kidnapped in Anambra State. The victim, identified as Ifeoma, was abducted and held for ransom by unknown assailants. Although her family met the demand for payment, her kidnappers still took her life and discarded her body along the Ideani junction on the Nnobi/Alor road.

Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu broke the news in a Facebook post on Tuesday, expressing outrage over the incident. He highlighted the growing violence, saying, “Lives are being taken daily and it’s sad nothing is being done to end all these killings. WHO IS NEXT? If we keep folding our hands and doing nothing, it may get to you.”

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident, stating that the police have initiated an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping and murder.
