Kidnappers have killed Kogi-born Oil and Gas expert, Mr Ojonimi Osayi, an official of Shell Petroleum Development Company who was kidnapped last weekend after collecting N5million ransom from his family.
Osayi was said to have been kidnapped was on his way to the burial ceremony of his father in-law at Igala Mela/Odolu local government of Kogi.
A family source said N5 million was delivered to his abductors, but unfortunately, his corpse was picked from the bush on Tuesday, January 11, 2022.
According to Daily Trust, late Osayi was reported to have objected to travelling from his base in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for the burial but caved in to family pressure.
“He came home in a jalopy car to disguise himself from kidnappers. Yet, he ran into them at Itobe-Anyigba road. We picked his corpse this early morning from the bush,” a family source said.
When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), William Aya, said the command is yet to get the details of the incident.
