The Department of State Security, DSS, in Rivers State has
arrested five suspects allegedly behind the abduction and murder of a
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Mr Sampson Worlu.
It was gathered that the suspects murdered the corps member after
collecting a ransom of N1.5 million for his release. The killers have
now been charged before a magistrate court in Port Harcourt. They
reportedly disappeared after the abduction and collection of ransom
until they were tracked by men of the DSS.
Charles Worlu, a brother of the deceased hostage said the family
will not rest until they get justice. He said the kidnappers made the
family pay them ransom twice, the first being one million naira and the
second time, five hundred thousand naira and still murdered the
hostage.
The corps member was serving in Imo State before his abduction at
Rumuokoro roundabout in Obio Akpor local government area of Rivers
State. A lawyer, he was called to the Bar on October 2015.
