Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area, Mr Samuel Nwanosike has declared that the Minister of Transportation is behind the kidnapping as his political thugs are running gangs of kidnapping in the area.
The Ikwerre Local Government Area Chairman who called in during a phone-in programme in Port Harcourt on Saturday told the Former Governor that security reports indicated that the kidnappers were friends and associates of Amaechi.
He said that the Local Government Area Security Committee investigated and confirmed that Amaechi was the brain behind the kidnapping in the area.
Nwanosike added that Amaechi was protecting the kidnappers in Ikwerre LGA via a detachment of soldiers numbering 500.
Responding, Former Governor Chibuike Amaechi claimed that the 500 Soldiers deployed to Ikwerre Local Government Area were sent there to protect members of his nuclear family.
Amaechi said the persons Nwanosike called kidnappers were members of the APC and not really kidnappers.
