Chief Ike Ekweremadu has revealed that 16 years ago, he was kidnapped and held for 2 days.
DAILY POST reports Ekweremadu stated this while contributing to the debate on Joint Committee Report on Police Affairs, National Security and Intelligence during plenary at the Senate.
He said, “On the September 10, 2000, as Chief of Staff to the then Enugu governor I was kidnapped and kept for two days. I was released, but no ransom was paid.
“I think there are categories of kidnappers, those who kidnap to make a statement, and those who kidnap for money, which I believe we are talking about. We should discourage kidnapping by refusing to pay ransoms, because from my experience these kidnappers are always in a hurry to get the money and move on.”
