Man Reunites With His Father After Escaping From Kidnapper’s Den In Delta

A young man, Joshua Jessa, who was abducted by kidnappers escaped from his captors and reunited with his family in Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State

Jessa was kidnapped last week Wednesday and miraculously escaped from the kidnappers’ den on Sunday evening, November 10, 2024. According to the punch, the kidnappers initially demanded N50m ransom but after much negotiation, reduced it to N6m. It was further gathered that the money was to be paid on Sunday evening before the victim’s escape.

The father of the victim, Chief Jessa Harrison, the Chief Executive Officer of Jessa Global Limited, could not hide his joy when he embraced his son, Joshua.

Speaking on the incident with journalists on Sunday night, he disclosing that his son was kidnapped by two armed men who whisked him into the bush on Wednesday, before he ‘miraculously’ escaped from the abductors.

“God released my son. I did not pay one naira,” he said.

“My boy ran from the kidnappers to Kokori from where he called me. I thought it was a joke. We then went in search of him. I took him to Eku for treatment before I brought him home.”

Jessa however expressed concern over what he tagged the lukewarm response of the police in the community to the complaint of the abduction of his son.

“I was only joined by my younger brother, who is the SSA on Security to the Governor and vigilante members in the search for the boy, after a call from him that he had escaped,” he stated.
