Kidnappers of a couple in Delta State have reportedly demanded a ransom of N10 million to free the victims. The couple, Mr. & Mrs. Kelvin Mordi were abducted last Saturday along the Agbor axis of the Benin-Asaba-Onitsha Expressway while going to a wedding reception. Locals said the hoodlums intercepted the vehicle they were traveling with, and hauled them into their get-away vehicle.
Delta State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya said she was not aware of ransom negotiation. Onovwakpoyeya said the victims were going to Benin for a wedding when they were kidnapped.
“They were travelling to Benin for a wedding when they were attacked. They were not the one getting married. They were guests,”
she stated. Onovwakpoyeya added that the police have commenced rescue operation for the victims.
