The Kogi born Senior Staff of Shell Petroleum Development Company, Mr Ojonimi Ossai was found dead, despite payment by members of his family.
It was learnt that Ossai was travelling to Igalamela-Odolu Community, Kogi State for the burial of his father in-law last weekend when he encountered gunmen who abducted him along Itobe-Anyigba road, according to family sources.
The gunmen later made contact with relations of Ossai to demand ransom for his release.
A source from the family said a ransom of N5 million was delivered to the abductors of Ossai, but unfortunately, it was his corpse that was found and picked from the bush on Tuesday morning.
