Abuja Bandits Holding Pregnant Woman, One-Year-Old Boy, Kill Man After Collecting ONLY N23m Out Of N290m Ransom

Bandits have reportedly killed a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) resident identified as Olayinka Ogunyemi, despite collecting N23m ransom.

GWG.ng learnt that the deceased is one of the seven persons abducted from Kuduru community in the FCT. He was killed after members of the families of the hostages failed to pay the N290 million demanded for all seven.

A source told Daily Trust that the bandits called on Friday, February 23, to break the news of the execution of the civil engineer. 

The source said, “The bandits called us yesterday saying that they have killed engineer Olayinka Ogunyemi. The bandits threatened to kill the remaining captives if N230 million is not made available as ransom. Those still in captivity include a one and half year-old boy, two siblings, a pregnant woman and two men.

“N23 million has been paid, food sent and other items they demanded but none of our people has been released. We are appealing to the federal government, the police and the army to step up efforts to rescue our people because their abductors said Nigeria has offended them and they would retaliate.”
