Kidnappers have grabbed the 83-year-old father of a former Super Eagles Player, Chikelue Iloenyosi, in Njikoka Local Government, Anambra State. We learned that the victim, David Iloenyosi, was returning from the church on Friday when he was abducted by the assailants. A household source said the kidnappers plugged Chikelue father's car and then put him in to another car before boosting off.
He said,
“On Monday, Pa Iloenyosi (James) was driving home from morning Mass when some men in a Toyota Camry blocked his Peugeot 504 and pulled him out of his vehicle. They subsequently put him inside their own vehicle and sped off.Continue.
“After organising a search party without success, we called his son on the telephone to inform him of the development.
“The following day, the kidnappers called us with the victim’s telephone and demanded N50m ransom. Family members have been trying to negotiate with them but they have refused to collect anything less.”
When our source contacted Chikelue on the telephone, he confirmed the development.
He said,
“I received a telephone call from the village that my father had been kidnapped. Later we were able to recover his vehicle, but my father’s telephone was switched off for the rest of the day. It was the following day that the kidnappers called with their demand.”
He said the family was still meeting to program the next reason behind action, while negotiation was continuing with the kidnappers. The former Nigerian defender claimed the episode was more uncomfortable as his father's double brother had just lately died.
“We have been begging these kidnappers but they have been threatening to kill my father if we did not pay. That money is just too much,” he said.
