jUST IN: Businessman who allegedly kidnapped Ghanaian lady and a friend shot dead (WATCH VIDEO)

Businessman Andrew Amaechi Ochekwo, identified as the kidnapper of two friends, Celine Ndudim and Afiba Tandoh, in Nigeria, has been killed.

Reports indicate that the businessman was slain while being transported from Abuja by the police, with investigations into the case ongoing.

An individual named Harrison, who has been monitoring the situation at the police station, observed that the businessman was shot after attempting an escape during transport.

He further disclosed that the late businessman had not revealed the location of the missing women, further complicating the case.

“I travelled from Delta to Abuja with the victim and received threats. I was informed that Andrew, the man accused of kidnapping the two women, has been confirmed dead. While in police custody in Aba, he lived comfortably until a petition for case transfer was filed with the IGP’s office, which was granted. Police from Abuja were dispatched to Aba to retrieve the case file.

“They claimed that after collecting the case file and the suspect, they were en route to Abuja when an incident occurred. The man attempted to flee, and he was shot and killed by some individuals. Now, this man can no longer inform us of the current whereabouts of Celine and Afiba,” he stated in a post by Instablg9ja on X.
