'We Paid N6m Ransom', says mother of corps member 'rescued...








原文原文 / Original Text

The mother of one of the 20 prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members abducted in Imo State has revealed that her family paid N6 million to secure her son’s release.

This is despite earlier demands running into tens of millions of naira.

Alirat Wahab said the abductors initially demanded N50 million for each victim but later reduced the amount after negotiations with the families, who were desperate to secure the safe return of their children.

Speaking in an interview with News Central Television, Wahab said the family struggled to raise the money after the kidnappers eventually settled for N6 million for her son.

“Initially, they asked us to pay N50 million per head. We asked whether the amount was for all of them, but they insisted that no, it was for each person,” she said.

She said the family initially pleaded with the abductors to accept N500,000 but they refused.

She added that a subsequent demand of N15 million was eventually negotiated down to N6 million.

According to Wahab, representatives of the affected families were instructed to travel to Ibadan to arrange the ransom payment, with her husband and elder son among those who went on behalf of the family.
