Ten days after two boys
went missing, their decomposing bodies were found in a local river in the area.
Two pupils, Tochukwu Ene
and Chukwuemeka Ugwu, who were Junior Secondary School JSS III students of the
Federal Government College, Okposi, in Ohaozara council Area of Ebonyi State
were kidnapped on Thursday, May 12th, 2016 on the day they finished their
Junior NECO exams. The boys were kidnapped as they left their school by unknown
people who never asked for any ransom for their release.
A family source of one of
the deceased who interviewed with the Nation in Enugu on Tuesday said the
bodies of the boys were found floating in a local river on Sunday, May 22nd,
2016. The source also added that no ransom was sought by the kidnappers from the
boys’ parents. The boys parents Barrister and Mrs Bato Ene and Mrs. Bonny Ugwu,
aka Bonjoe, were never contacted to pay any ransom or anything by the
kidnappers who murdered their children.
The police in Ebonyi, have
since made some arrests, in regards to the death of these young boys. Some of
the people arrested were some members of staff of FGC, Okposi and the
traditional ruler of the community who is currently being interrogated at the
Police Command headquarters, Abakaliki.
The remains of the students
were laid to rest Tuesday at their respective hometowns following autopsy
carried out by police pathologists to determine the possible causes of their
deaths.
