He claimed that Ugorji was taken as he shut down his business, got in his jeep, and was about to head home when the kidnappers approached and pushed him out.
The witness claimed that Ugorji “struggled to escape but found it impossible to move since one of his vehicle’s tires got stuck in a drainage.
