Dare devil kidnappers have abducted Mrs. Esohe Abel and her lovely daughter, Miss Osarunmwese Abel, in Edo State. Mrs Esohe and Osarunmwese are wife and daughter of a prominent transporter in Edo State, the Managing Director of Iyare Motors Limited, Mr. Abel Omoruyi.
Both mother and daughter were kidnapped at about 5pm on Monday around the Ugbor Primary School in the Benin City area. Their car was reportedly abandoned at the scene, while the victims were forcefully taken away in the kidnapper’s car.
“We have yet to hear from their abductors; everyone is worried. But we were told that delay is a tactic employed by kidnappers to make family members of their victims apprehensive.
“We learnt that kidnappers often keep their victims for at least 24 hours without communicating with their families. By the time they eventually establish contact, the affected families would have been so unsettled that they would give in to the kidnappers’ demands easily.”
A family source told Punch that the matter had been reported at the Ugbor Police Station and the victims’ car, recovered by the police.
Confirming the development, the source said, “Esohe and Osarunmwese were kidnapped at Ugbor village, close to the Ugbor Primary School. Although we have made a report at the Ugbor Police station, so far there is nothing new."
The police in Edo State say they are investigating the unfortunate incident.
