You may not believe it, but it is true. Kidnappers in Delta State
have gone a notch higher by writing to a High Court judge threatening to
abduct her if she refused to pay N20million ransom.
Worse still, since September when they sent their threat letter to
Justice Flora Azinge of Otor-Udu High Court, Otor-Udu, they have forced
her to abandon the court room where many cases are pending for
adjudication and litigants lamenting.
As if that ugly twist is not enough, a police orderly working with
her is being implicated in the kidnap threat saga.She, at first, did not
take the threat serious until the would-be kidnappers telephoned her
and disclosed to her that some other judges had paid. To further
frighten her, they told her they were monitoring her every move,
including the house chores she was involved in at the moment the
telephone conversation was going on.
