his driver were traveling to Abuja for an urgent issue. They were ambushed by

U-turn. Unknown to him, he was already in the mist of kidnappers who had
already positioned themselves along the road. They opened fire on the occupants
of the vehicle. My brother was shot on the chest, and leg. Hls driver
