Wife “kidnaps her husband and locks him up in “private prison” after he refused to fly her family out to visit over Christmas’

 Witchell said he told them: ‘I’m not going anywhere with you. It’s a kidnap.’  He said they replied: ‘We have had a call. We are authorised to take you by force.’  Witchell was then allegedly physically lifted and bundled into the back of a car and driven for 90 minutes to the clinic.  He adds in the interview released on 24th January: ‘They put me there and locked me in a room.’ Witchell says: ‘My wife had signed the authorisation to put me in there, I think, over an argument we had at Christmas. ‘She wanted her family to come and I said I couldn’t afford to pay for it. Then all of a sudden I’ve got these people kidnapping me.’  Witchell was only rescued when he managed to email a friend from a computer he was allowed access to, who called the police.  Police have since shut down the Novo Dia clinic, and its unnamed manager has been charged with kidnapping and false imprisonment.  A Military Police of Goias statement read: ‘The Military Police closed this Tuesday (23rd January) a recovery clinic for drug users at Residencial Eldorado PARK II, in Caldas Novas, after a request for help from an inmate of English nationality who was being held in this private prison.’  They added: ‘The Englishman was rescued from the clinic after reporting the irregularities via e-mail, claiming that around 30 days ago he had been kidnapped by four men, supposedly employees of the clinic, and that since then he had been kept in prison.’  ‘In an interview with the victim, he reported that around 15th December, his wife asked him for a large amount of money,’ the statement went on. ‘Faced with his refusal, his partner, without judicial authorisation, hired a clinic in Caldas Novas, which kidnapped him, coerced him, and kept him in a private prison.’  There is no information on Witchell’s current condition, and his wife has not been named.  The investigation continues. The post Wife “kidnaps her husband and locks him up in “private prison” after he refused to fly her family out to visitoverChristmas’ appeared first on Ringroad.com.ng Your Free Online Search Engine .
