The gunmen demanded 10 million for the ransom of the body of the one they shielded In Nigeria
According to reports, Kefas Obadiah, the brother of the abducted person, said that the bandits took three million naira but refused to release his body after they kidnapped him last October.
Punch newspaper reported that the brother of the deceased said, "Ibrahim lost his life on Monday and they informed us on Thursday. We need his body but they said we have to pay N10 million if we want his body because they will not work for us for free." "No," said his cousin.
Obadiah while explaining the situation he said added: "My brother's name is Obadiah Ibrahim. He was kidnapped in early October in Sabon Gaya while on his way from Abuja to Kaduna. "Although the bandits are talking about me, there is someone they are trading with," according to him.
He also added that the bandits initially demanded 200 million naira and later it was adjusted to three million naira.
And he added: "They told us to go and bring money." After we gave them the ransom money, they said it was for their food which had run out so let's go and collect N15 million,” he said.
He continued to say, "Then they came down, where they asked us to bring 5 million Naira and three motorcycles and later they accepted one motorcycle." After receiving the bike we have not heard from them. We tried to hear from them but to no avail.
He also said, "Then on Thursday when the person they were trading with called them, they said 'our brother has died.' We thought they were joking. But when we kept calling them, they threatened to follow him and arrest him too if he didn't stop calling them."
"They said the police caught some of them, tied them to a tree and killed them. So they unleashed their anger on our brother, "According to his brother".
Finally, the bandits swore to God that if we bring the money, they will give his body in just three days.
