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.
A group of Igbo men have come together to save a Nigerian man who was seen in a viral video being tortured by a dreaded Pakistani gang after his “brother” named Andrew used him as a collateral and absconded without paying the gang back.
The Nigerian man explained that he will be killed on July 10 if Andrew does not pay back what he owes the gang. He then begged his uncle to sell everything they have and pay a man named “Nuruz”.
A group of wealthy Igbo men have now come to his aid and are willing to pay to get him his freedom.
In a video shared online, the Igbo men, one of them a US-based man, explained that they’ve spoken with Nuruz and reasoned with him and he promised to be fair to the Nigerian man and preserve his life. They added that among themselves, they will raise Nuruz’s money and get the Igbo man back home.
“Relax your mind, we’ll raise the money, the men promised.
In the video recorded for the Nigerian man to view, they told him to relax his mind and stop fretting because they are working to get him out. They said Nuruz gave them his word that he will not kill him if payment is made.
