Kidnappers kill victim after collecting N1.5m ransom

A 43-year-old nurse, Bridget Osawaru, who was abducted on December 10, 2013, has been found dead.
Bridget was abducted at her residence along Sapele road in Benin, Edo State.
It was learnt that her abductors had collected N1.5m three days after her kidnap, but refused to release her until she was found dead.
Bridget’s body was found near Okhuahie hill, in Uhunmwode Local Government Area.

Police sources said some injuries were found on her body which indicated that she might have been stabbed.
It was gathered that police were working on the theory that she could have been assassinated.
A senior official, who craved anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, said the case had been transferred to the homicide section at the state police command headquarters.
The Edo State police spokesman, Moses Eguaveon said he had not been briefed on the latest development.
He said, “When I get to the office tomorrow, I will confirm it from the OC (officer-in-charge) Kidnapping.”
