Kidnapping Story Addis Ababa

So this story right here happened to my uncle like a month ago in AA. Basically, what my uncle told us was he was walking home from church in the morning when he was approached by 2 men. This is all taking place like 11AM-12PM broad daylight by the way. These 2 men approach him and say they are “civil” which means they work for the government as undercover police. They tried to take him to an undisclosed location and the reason they gave my uncle was they were investigating robberies in the area. Mind you my uncle is a elderly man who is very very successful and does not involve himself in the mix besides going to church so there is no reason for any type of investigation to lead them to ask him questions. Anyways, my uncle did not believe them and told them to show him ID. They refused and a little tussle ensued between my uncle and the 2 men with at one point my uncle feeling threatened enough to strike one of the men and try to escape. My uncle is calling for help and eventually a cop runs onto the scene to try and defuse the situation. He explains to my uncle they are in fact civil and told him he had to go with them. This made my uncle stand down and go with them. Little did we know, the cop was actually working with these people to set up a kidnapping + extortion ring. They take my uncle to to an undisclosed location and make an exorbitant ransom amount which reached like 10 million birr. We pay the ransom amount which was reduced to 3 million birr to a fucking COMMERCIAL bank account. My father has some connections so he reached out and was able to find out that that account as soon as he received the 3 million paid it out to 12 people. Some of these 12 people were identified as their names had come up before in different cases. My uncle was able to identify one of them and the other 2 are still at large. The one he identified had no ties to any police or government organization and was just a criminal kidnapping people. I’m sure there was political and police corruption to cover their tracks. Unfortunately, I’m sure the investigation is most likely concluded even though they still tell us they are looking into it. It was a terrifying situation to say the least and just shows how much anarchy and corruption has come to Ethiopia. Things like this were not happening in broad daylight 5-10 years ago
