Why Man kidnapped spent 7 days in kidnappers den and released without paying N20 Million ransom demanded

  Confusion best described the situation at Nnobi  Idemmili South local government area of Anambra state today when a 38-year-old Warri, Delta State-based business man, and father of two, Mr Clems Okwudilichukwu Abasilim miraculously regained his freedom from suspected kidnappers who abducted him, demanding N20 Million ransom, reports www.odogwublog.com .

 Abasilim had returned for a funeral ceremony of his grandmother-in-law when the hoodlums struck leaving the entire family members and relatives heartbroken for days.

Narrating his ordeal after his release at the Canaanland Counselling and Adoration Ministries a.k.a E-Dey Work Catholic Centre, Nnobi, with Rev Fr Ebere Magnus Sdv as the Spiritual Director , Abasilim said it was amazing how he regained freedom without paying their demanded N20 Million ransom.

He testified that God did it for him, recounting that he returned from Warri for the burial and drove out to do some shopping preparatory for the event only to be abducted by four well armed suspected kidnappers.

He said they pushed him out of his car and bundled him into their own waiting Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) and zoomed off to an unknown destination where he was held captive for seven days, blindfolded.

He lamented that his abductors told him they never met or knew him but that he was crushing in an automobile that cost more than N4 million and therefore qualified for kidnapping for a ransom of N20 million.

He informed that right at the kidnappers' den, he began to preach to them to abandon their "job" and accept Christ "because we became friends except that their boss was brutal." He said he was at the same time praying, mostly in his heart so that they would not know his prayer points.

"Around 8:00p.m.which is the seventh day in captivity, they told me that I should go home that evening. I asked them whether my people had complied. They said no, that they had problem. They told me that if not for that problem, they would have "blown me off". They took me on a motorcycle that night and dropped me at a lonely road. I asked them how I could go. They gave me N500 for transport and removed the blindfold,"

Abasilim narrated his ordeal in the hands of his abductors as he displayed some deep fresh wounds on his wrists, sustained when they tied him to a tree at their hideout before his release.

The victim's mother, Madam Abasilim who was overwhelmed by joy for the release of her son said she went to E-Dey Work Catholic Centre and petitioned to God and gave Rev Fr Magnus the phone number with which the hoodlums were using to call the family of the victim for ransom. She said it was that contact that the priest used to order the abductors to release their victim or face the wrath of God.

On his part, Rev Fr Ebere Magnus Sdv  said "When I called the kidnappers with the GSM phone  number of their victim, and told one of them who answered the call that the person they were holding in captivity is my son, that they should release him or die. The kidnapper who picked the call shouted, Chineke mu (my God). That shout signified that he must have received something like electric shock. I know my God can never fail me. And they complied without talking about ransom again. I even heard that it was that same person (kidnapper) who received the call from me that assisted Abasilim with N500 for transport".
