A kidnapped victim in Delta State,
Elder Paul Odili Chima has reportedly died three days after he breathed the air
of freedom from his abductors’ den.
Said to be residing in Asaba, the
state capital, Elder Chima, 65, was the Asaba branch President of Aboh
Development Union (ADU). He was also the National Treasurer of the
community-related union.
Besides, the deceased was the
chairman of Delta State chapter of the Licensed Electrical Contractors
Association of Nigeria (LECAN).
He was reportedly kidnapped by
gunmen in Asaba and taken to unknown destination where he was said to have
spent seven days in captivity.
His abduction was said to have
unsettled his family members and close associates who rallied round to secure
his release after paying N1.5 million ransom.
Celebrations greeted his release
from the kidnappers’ captivity, but the joy was short-lived, as he was said to
have complained about pains, following the torture he received from the
hoodlums during the days he was held hostage.
According to a family source: “Elder
Chima died barely three days after his release from the hands of his
kidnappers. Before his death, he complained of pains all over his body and was
nursing a gunshot injury inflicted on him by the kidnappers.”
