kidnappers had made a contact and asked for
N10 million ransom for each of their captives.
The kidnappers also threatened to keep their
victims hostage if their demand was not met
quickly.
The kidnappers had accosted five NEMA staff
while on an official assignment at Abua-Odua
Local Government near Ahoada in Rivers State.
One of the members of staff, Minafel Ikisikpo who
was shot and seriously injured, managed to
escape after he pretended to be dead.
The four staff taken into custody by the
kidnappers are Julius Alunomoh, Damian Egwu,
Olisa Ojukwu and Chidiebere Wendy, the only
female staff.
The officers were kidnapped after conducting an
enumeration exercise to determine the number of
farmers who were either affected by flood or
conflicts to benefit from the National Emergency
Agricultural Intervention Fund.
The fund which is under the National Food
Security Program of the Federal Government is to
cover 18 states of the federation.
