“The story of Pa Njoku is pathetic as his own son, his close friend, Emmanuel Sunday, who is a prospective in-law and his sister, Chinaza, connived to kidnap their father.
The couple had been desperate to get the wedding moving on as Chinaza was already 8 months pregnant.
However, Sunday said that the whole idea to kidnap his prospective father-in-law, Pa Njoku was the idea of his son.
“Pa Njoku’s son, who is my friend, had told me that we have to kidnap his father so that I could raise money to organise the traditional wedding of his sister who is my girl friend because she is already eight months pregnant,” he said.
