The Nigerian man who was filmed being tortured by a dreaded Pakistani gang after he was used as collateral has been identified as Ekenedirichukwu Innocent Chima.
A video of him has been released to assure Nigerians of his safety after a group of wealthy Igbo men came to his rescue and contacted the gang leader, Nuruz, to let him know that they will pay to secure Chima’s release. They also assured Chima that they will not abandon him in Pakistan.
Apparently, their video was shown to Chima and he also recorded a video of his own to thank the Igbo men working to save him.
He said he saw the video and thanked them for their kindness. He also thanked Nigerians and assured everyone that he’s still alive.
Recall that Chima was used as collateral by a man named Andrew. However, Andrew absconded afterwards and the Pakistani gang tortured Chima and threatened to kill him on July 10 if Andrew doesn’t return with their money.

The attention of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has been drawn to a mischievous, deceitful and perfidious publication by the notorious factory of fake news in Nigeria, the Sahara Reporters with an intent to spread lies.
It is regrettable that the information communication technology tools have been hijacked by disgruntled elements in spreading fake news and blatant lies.
The report by the media is a clear violation of ethical journalism practices on verification of facts and authentication of claims. It evinces lack of professionalism and exposes rash and reckless presentation of figment of imaginations shrouded with bigotry and bundled with sentiments of unscrupulous questions.
For instance, who is the vendor of the purported house bought for the son of the Minister in Abuja at N300m? Where is the so-called mansion located in Abuja? Where are the title documents?
While refuting the claim, Malami said “God knows that I did not purchase any house for him in Abuja. Not even a rented house was secured for my son in Abuja, because he has no plan to live in Abuja
She admitted having an affair with August but dismissed claims Will gave his permission. According to Jada, she and Will were “amicably seperated” when she had an ‘entanglement’ with August. She said she did it because she hadn’t felt good in a long time, was broken, in a lot of pain and wanted to feel good. . Oh, and she told her husband, she doesn’t regret the affair because she learnt a lot from her journey with the 27 year old singer as she was able to confront her emotional immaturity and insecurity and did some deep healing. . . 📽: @redtabletalk
