As family members were making efforts to bargain for his release, the kidnappers informed them of the lawyer’s demise.

Family sources said Oguejiofor’s father was in stable health condition until he received the devastating news that his son had been murdered by the kidnappers. He collapsed and died suddenly shortly after receiving the news.

“The man was healthy while his son was in captivity but the trauma from Jude’s abduction proved too much for him to bear after we were informed of his death,” a family member noted.
