One of the kidnappers of Juliet Ozuruonye Kalu, the mother of Super Eagles player, Samuel Kalu, has revealed that they killed the brother of the then second-in-command of the kidnap gang for fleeing with the N2 million they received as ransom.
The suspect, who revealed this in a video seen by The Eagle Online, said she was freed after the payment of ransom.
He, however, said that the second-in-command fled with the money, adding that the leader of the gang then went with him to the house of the man and shot his brother in the stomach, which led to his death.
