”I did menial jobs to fend for the family. I arranged his kidnap because I needed money to take care of the family.
”Unfortunately I was not given the ransom money after the abduction was successful,” she said.
Joy mentioned one Udo Moji, now at large, as the leader of the gang she engaged for her husband’s abduction.
She said, ”They collected the money from me and never gave anything to me. Some members of the group who were arrested while spending the money mentioned my name to the police.”
Also speaking, Ebong said that he was kidnapped at about 8.30 p.m., on July 21 shortly after entering his house.
