jeopardize investigations adding that four suspects had been arrested
for the kidnap of the late Iloenyosi.
The Octogenarian’s family

hoodlums stormed his house on the 25th November and whisked him away.
When the information flew out, the State Police Command deployed over
700 policemen to comb all the nooks and crannies of the state in search
of the man, but all to no avail.
The family was also made to
part with 1.5 million naira as ransom by his abductors which they
declared insufficient before the man died.
One of the daughters
of the deceased and a well known politician Hajia Chinyere
Oguguo-Agagbo was all tears yesterday and could not be consoled by the
husband Okpoka Agagbo and relations.
She was reigning courses
on the people who perpetrated such act imploring God to show the wicket
that he was in control of the universe.
Two of the suspects,
who was shielded from reporters by Security Operatives in order not to
derail investigations confessed to have kidnapped the man in November
25, 2015.
One of them (names withheld) told the Nation
yesterday that when they collected the money and told the family to
bring more, that they did not know that the man would die in the
custody.
He said, when he gave up the ghost, they carried the corpse to Nneyi village Umueri community bush where they dumped him.
The late Pa James Iloenyosi was recognized by the Police and family
members via the cloth and cap he was putting on before he was kidnapped.
According to the CP, Usman Gwary while speaking with reporters
yesterday, “we are not going to say much on the details of this
operation because we have not finished the investigation in order not to
jeopardize what we are doing”
“We still have a lot of people
to pick up concerning the kidnap of the man but right now, we have
arrested four persons to that effect, thank you” Gwary said.
