Why I Kidnapped My Boss' Wife

34-year-old Chukwunonse Ejike, an indigene of Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area in Anambra State, is the sponsor of a seven-man kidnapping gang. He openly confessed that he formed the gang in order to take a revenge on his boss who he worked with for about four years. Narrating what actually happened between him and his boss, Ejike said: “I worked in his (boss’s) company between 2004 and 2007. The woman I later married was also working in the same company as a sales representative. She later became the best sales representative in the company because she was hardworking and she generated millions of naira for the company every week. “She was later given an official car and her salary was raised to N90,000 per month. At the end of 2007, my boss settled me with N250,000. I later travelled to China on a business trip. I spent four years in China but was later deported to Nigeria because my visa expired. When I got back to Nigeria, I started my own company. I became an importer of jewellery. “Returning from China after four years of leaving Tony’s company, I thought it wise to marry the woman I loved and had worked with before I travelled abroad. I did not know that the marriage would ignite hatred from my boss. My wife is the kind of woman every man would like to have because of her beauty, intelligence and hard work. My boss became jealous and started insulting her. “At times he would bark at her, asking her why she did not see any other man to marry than me. He called me all sorts of degrading names like ‘never-do-well’ and ‘deportee’. “My wife later got pregnant but lost the pregnancy in the second month, which to me was spiritual. When she took in again, the baby died in her womb. I had already accepted the loss of my babies as the will of God or a natural thing when I heard that my boss, who is equally my relation, was making jest of me and celebrating the death of my children. "He was saying my wife and I thought that without us, his company would fold up. To add insult to injury, the company’s management collected her car and pushed her out of the company without a sack letter. It was two weeks after she was pushed out of the company that the baby died in her womb. “I felt bad about the way my wife was pushed out, having worked for the company for eight years and making sales between N10 million and N11 million every month. A person who is working hard and bringing in millions of naira monthly would most likely record bad debts. There was a time she complained that one of her customers ran away with N500,000. “Her monthly salary was N90,000, but there was no month she received up to that amount as salary. At times, she was given N26,000 as salary. She never received her basic salary since she started working there. “When the man started his evil plans against my family, the company’s lawyer wrote a nonsense letter that my wife was indebted to the company to the tune of N3.2 million. Eight years is long enough to get such amount as bad debt, because my wife generated millions of naira for the company." Brimtime gathered that Ejike couldn't stand the humiliation on his family from his former boss, hence he arranged for the kidnap of his wife for a huge ransom. The matter is now a police case and the Ejike and his boss, who are relatives, are now sworn enemies.
