Just weeks to the burial of the father of Miss World Girl Agbani Darego,her uncle,Apostle Enemenia Darego was abducted days back.
This action was considered as double tragedy to the Darego family that has been in mourning mood.
Apostle Enemenia was on Thursday,February 9,2012,kidnapped on his way home,from a family meeting held in D/Line,Port Harcourt,and Rivers State.
The meeting was towards the burial arrangement of Chief Asenite Kaladokubo Jack who died on January 14,2012.
The deceased is the father of 2001 Miss World,Agbani Darego.
The abductors had earlier demanded N20 million as ransom as a condition for his release but the victim’s relations searched and got some amount of money which was rejected by the kidnappers.
With the charged atmosphere,the Darego family and concerned members went into prayer sessions asking God to intervene in the release of their loved.Miraculously,the Apostle was released a few days later.
As one family member confided in us, They demanded N20 million and the little we got they rejected.All we saw was that on Saturday,February 18,2012 he was released by his abductors.
The security agencies were at their best in making sure that the septuagenarian was released unhurt as the abducted over 70 years old retired staff of the Nigeria Agip Oil Company(NOAC) regained freedom amidst cheers and praise singing to God for keeping him safe.
In his reaction the abducted Apostle thanked Almighty God for his divine intervention and wondered why kidnappers have resurfaced in the state,especially Port Harcourt city.
To him it is not something one should wish his enemy. I used to think it(kidnapping) is a joke until it has happened to us
The burial arrangement of Agbani Darego’s father has however continued amidst tight security.
