The complainant added that following his plea with the caller, he was asked to pay an undisclosed amount as ransom into an ECO Bank account No. 0013414514 with the account name of one Sandra Agbonya, female.

Uyabeme, who spoke in Asaba, the state capital, continued narrating how the account owner was arrested saying, “Sequel to the report, detectives swung into action and on 18th /4/13 arrested the said Sandra at Ecobank branch Warri while trying to withdraw money paid into the aforementioned account number.
