Kidnappers have kidnapped the wife and father-in-law of a popular nightclub owner in Bayelsa state, Mr Tari Ajanami.
The kidnappers reportedly held on to his 38-year old wife and 4-year-old father-in-law for paying a ransom less than what was demanded.
It was learnt that the duo paid about N15million ransom while the kidnappers demanded N200million.
Recall that the 43-year-old club owner was abducted a fortnight ago at his building site along the Otiotio area of the State capital and was recently released at an exchange point in Ahaoda Local Government Area of Rivers State.
It was also learnt that the ransom exchange which was kept away from the security agencies took place at about 11.45 pm Thursday.
Everything took a turn for the worse when the kidnappers insisted on the completion of the demanded N200m ransom and held unto the ransom messengers which were the victim’s wife and father-in-law.
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.
He said: “We are however waiting to hear from the kidnappers. We learnt their Satellite Mobile Phone gadget fell into the water during the ransom exchange.
