Suspected kidnappers kill businessman after reportedly collecting N10m ransom from his family

Anambra based businessman identified as Sunny Taxman, who was abducted three weeks ago, has been reportedly killed by his abductors after they collected N10m ransom from his family.

The deceased said to hail from Alor Agu in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State, was kidnapped inside his vehicle by the yet-to-be-identified assailants.

A source who pleaded anonymity, because he was not permitted to speak with the media, said the suspected kidnappers dumped his corpse inside a dry gutter at the boundary of Nkwelle Uke, near RCC in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

This was corroborated in a trending video currently circulating on social media and showing where the bizman’s lifeless body was lying on the floor of the gutter, with passers-by taking a closer look at it.

One of the sources close to the family of the victim, who craved anonymity, confirmed to journalists that the deceased was murdered after the sum of N10m was sent to them, after spending three weeks with his captors.

The source said, “They might have killed him after he recognised one of them so as not to get exposed.

“They kidnapped him on his way to a function three weeks ago and demanded a ransom. The sum of N10m was paid to the kidnappers. Still, they killed him. So sad.”

When contacted on the development, on Monday, the spokesman for the Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, could not confirm the incident as he said the command was not aware of the incident.

Ikenga, however, said he would make further enquiries on the development.
