Kidnappers operating within Aba, Abia State at the weekend killed a woman, Mrs. Chioma Chukwu­ra, who they had earlier abducted.
The late Mrs. Chukwura, who resided in Aba with her family, had travelled to Calabar, Cross River State with her driver, one Chikodi.
From Calabar, she and her driver headed to Port Harcourt in Rivers State for an undisclosed transaction when on reaching a point at Azumini in Ukwa East Local Gov­ernment, she was kidnapped by gunmen while the driver escaped into the bush.
A source told Crime Watch Today that some days after she was kidnapped, her captors opened up channel of communication with the husband and demanded N10 million ransom, which was reduced to N2 million.
The place where the money should be kept was agreed upon by the kidnappers and the widower.
However, as the husband was said to have fulfilled his own side of the bargain, the kidnappers were said to have, while attempting to collect the money became suspicious that they were being trailed by some security operatives, went back and killed the woman and dumped her body inside the bush.
When nothing was heard about the kid­nappers and their victim, her family alerted soldiers of the 144 battalion, Asa who found the body under a shrub.
