The kidnapped Anambra State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Ken Emeakayi has been released by his abductors after two days of incarceration.His freedom was however, not without the payment of an undisclosed ransom.
Emeakayi, who was freed on Tuesday night told Daily Sun yesterday that his abductors were instructed to assassinate him but thanked God for saving his live.
He said that he was abducted by a gang of four youngmen operating in a RAV4 Sport Utility Vehicle and armed with sophisticated weapons. He said: “On Sunday the first day of December, 2013 I was on my way to Awka from Ihiala my local government when on reaching Anyasoijiji, a junction between Agulu and Nise on that Agukwunri junction, one RAV4 SUV overtook my car and blocked me and about four young men inside the vehicle, well armed with weapons opened fire on me and my vehicle.
“After some minutes of steady firing, one of them pulled me out of the vehicle and blindfolded me and pushed me into their waiting RAV4 vehicle and took me away to an unknown destination.”
The PDP state boss said after some hours of driving, they pulled out of the car and they made about 15 minutes walk before he found himself at a bank of a river he could not recognise where they untied his eyes.
He told Daily Sun that from the interrogation by his abductors, it was obvious that his kidnap was political, adding that the leader of the gang which he said has about 80 men from what he could count, promised to call him and tell him the politician behind his abduction.
