Edo Family Refutes Police Rescue Claim, Confirms Payment of Ransom for Abducted Twin Teenagers After Father’s Murder
The family of twin teenagers abducted in Edo State after the killing of their father, Andrew Ilabeshi, has disputed police claims that the victims were rescued unharmed. According to the family, the twins, Emmanuel and Emmanuella, both 16, were only released after a ransom was paid to their kidnappers.
Gunmen reportedly attacked the Ilabeshi family on December 11 at Kalabar Quarters, Afokpella, Etsako East LGA, leaving the father dead and abducting the twins. The Edo State Police Command previously stated that the twins were rescued by security operatives, but the family insists the release was negotiated through ransom payments.
The victims were reportedly traumatized by their ordeal, and the family criticized local security efforts, urging both state and federal governments to intensify measures against kidnappings. Community vigilance, according to the family, has proven insufficient in addressing the rise in violent abductions in the area.
