She said, “The suspects after abducting the victim whisked him away to Azugwu town at the outskirts of the capital city Abakaliki, where he was shot at the back and pushed inside a nearby river though he survived the ordeal.
“The suspects were arrested by police operatives at Nsukka in Enugu State and later transferred to Ebonyi State Police Command”
The PPRO revealed that the kidnappers transferred #5 million from the victim’s bank account, using his mobile telephone handset, to their own bank account before pushing him into the river.
