Kidnappers have killed Abakaliki-based business mogul, Chief Godwin Nwosu, after collecting a ransom from his family.

His body was found yesterday close to the Ebonyi State Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), 48 hours after he was abducted by gun-wielding men on his way home from work.

He was, until his death, the chief executive of Godal Pharmacy.

Security operatives recovered his body yesterday while on patrol on the Abakaliki /Enugu Express road.

The corpse has been deposited at the Federal Medical Centre, Abakaliki.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Sylvester Igbo, said on phone that he had not been officially briefed on the matter.

Nwosu, a native of Anambra State, was the fourth person to be kidnapped by gunmen in the state this year.

A retired Permanent Secretary in the state, Chief Cletus Nwezza was similarly kidnapped and killed by his abductors in May after collecting a ransom of one million naira from his family.
