IT was end of the road for two kidnappers yesterday afternoon in Ughelli, Delta State, as they were caught in the process of collecting a ransom for the four-year-old daughter of an hotelier.

They were heavily beaten by an angry crowd who besieged the police van, which brought them to the hotel where the girl was abducted.
Policemen apprehended them at their hideout while trying to pick up the ransom. One of them, said to be mastermind of the abduction, was surprisingly a pastor.
It was learnt that the girl was quietly taken away in the morning last Wednesday from the premises of the hotel by a worker there.When the parents raised an alarm over the missing girl, neighbours said they saw the worker taking her away.
The Guardian learnt the parents of the girl were contacted by the kidnappers last Wednesday evening from their hideout in a bush a few miles from the Ughelli township during, where they demanded a ransom of N4 million.
The parents alerted the police who advised them to play along with the kidnappers. The kidnappers allegedly told the girl's parents where to drop the money, which they did.However, when the kidnappers came out to pick what was supposed to be the ransom, they were shocked as policemen appeared and apprehended them after shooting into the air.
The hotel worker, who kidnapped the girl and identified himself as Jimmy Benson, disclosed that he was told by his pastor to abduct her and that he would be given N1 million.
On his part, the pastor, in his 40s, said it was the handiwork of the devil.
