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.
The suspects, who allegedly murdered the
hostage after being paid a ransom of N1.5 million for his release, are already
facing charges at 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 all the family wanted was 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.
