Man Kidnapped, Forced to Drop Rape Case Against Police Inspector.

Kidnapping cases all over the  place. On Sunday just 24-hours ago a wife a chairmanship candidate in Ogun was kidnapper. Few days ago it was Kogi State. This seem to be a very lucrative business, but where are the arms and the support coming from?

Dr. Ime Stephen narrated how he escape from the Kidnappers den on Saturday. As a result of event to the best of his knowledge,he has decided to drop a case involving an Inspector of Police who allegedly rape a  15-years-old girl at a gunpoint in Akwa Ibom State.

He was abducted on Tuesday by 3am in his house but by divine  intervention he escape on Saturday.

This are  part of his statement,

“I can’t really say or speculate the people behind my kidnapping. Investigation is already on and I leave that one for the security operatives. There was a rape case of a 15-year old girl, Mary Udo, who was allegedly defiled by a police inspector that I have been following up. And since then, a lot of things have been happening to me. 

“My abductors clearly asked me to leave all the cases I have been handling. I have dropped all these cases for the sake of my life and my family. All these things are happening to me because I committed myself to the defence of the defenceless,

“One of the kidnappers spoke in Ijaw language and blended it with English but they didn’t know I could hear them as they thought the injection I was given was still active.

“I heard one of them saying that I should not be killed because it will be a problem for them as some people have seen them already. This brought argument among them and one of them shot the other and he died at the spot. Although, I was blindfolded I knew that was what happened.

 “I want to still call on the Inspector General of Police, the SSS and relevant security operatives to wade into this matter and launch intensive investigation. I have been shouting and crying all these while that my life is in danger but nothing was done about it. Several assassination attempts have been made on my life before I was eventually kidnapped.

How he escaped.
He said in one of the occasions when he was been transferred from places to  another his abductor got to an uncompleted building.  Therein  he was blindfolded, his hand and legs tire seemingly they had  gone  for smoking, It was there that his help came.

“I will say it is God’s grace. They were transferring me from one place to the other. And then they took me to one uncompleted building in Nsit Ubium along Oron Road. The place is called Akai and it is slightly isolated because houses are not close to one another.

“They tied me up, both legs and hands, and  left me in order to come for me later. Sometimes they go out to smoke and do some other things before returning. I was then fortunate that the sedation cleared from my eyes a little and I began to shout for help with my last strength.

“A cyclist heard my voice and came to my rescue. He managed to lose my legs but couldn’t lose my hands that were tied to my back. It was in the night and he then took me to the police post in the area before I was handed over to the highway patrol team.

“It was at the police post that my hands were loosen. The boy who rescued me was also frightened as he was taking me to the police post so that we don’t run into the kidnappers who dumped me there
