Man Regains Freedom As Wife, Father-In-Law Who Came To Drop Ransom Held

It was a sad sweet story for popular Bayelsa nightclub owner, Oyintare Ajanami, as he regained his freedom from kidnappers but his wife and father-in-law who came to drop ransom for his release were abducted in place.

According to report, the kidnappers got angry that the duo paid a ransom that is less than what was demanded.

43-year-old Ajanami, who was abducted a fortnight ago at his building site in Yenagoa, was released at an exchange point in Ahaoda Local Government Area of Rivers State on Thursday.

The now abducted father and daughter had gone to drop about a N15million ransom out of the N200 million demanded by the kidnappers.

It was gathered that the ransom exchange which was kept away from the security agencies took place at about 11.45 pm Thursday, however turned awry when the kidnappers insisted on the completion of the demanded N200m ransom and held unto father and daughter. 

A close family source who confirmed the incident said the family were worried over the development, adding that the wife is hypertensive and was not with her drugs at the point of abduction.

“We are however waiting to hear from the kidnappers. We learnt their Satellite Mobile Phone gadget fell into the water during the ransom exchange.

“You know N15m was taken to the ransom exchange point. The kidnappers collected the money and maybe held unto the wife and her father in order to demand for more money from the victim. We plead with the kidnappers to tamper justice with mercy,” the source said.
