“They also made away with their two motorcycles and their bodies. Up till now, their bodies have not been found.
“There was a rumour in the morning of the following day that OSPAC killed two kidnappers at Edu. So some people who came there, saw the bodies and took some pictures.
“When the Edu indigene saw them, they said these guys are Chinem’s children, they are not kidnappers, we know them, that was when OSPAC took their bodies and went away.
“I don’t know where they buried them. Again,they (OSPAC) are still threatening to kill the eldest brother of the siblings who went to report the matter at the Police station. One of of OSPAC vigilante operatives called him yesterday, that they are going to kill him, the way they killed his brothers if he continues to pursue the case.
“We are calling on citizens of Nigeria, Governor of Rivers State, the Deputy Governor who is from our area, we are also calling on Eze Ogba, Ogba of Ogbaland, Chairman of ONELGA that they should bring these people to book.
“If it continues like this, who will be the next person they will kill? So the extrajudicial killing must be put to an end, we are calling everyone to make sure perpetrators of these evil are brought to book ”
