It was gathered that the men who pretended to be customers came to their shop to buy drinking water and later turned out to be the kidnapping gangsters.

 

The husband of the kidnapped woman who spoke with newsmen in Epe, on Monday, called on well-meaning individuals to come to their rescue in order to get the woman released from the abductors.

 

He said that the demand of N50m was made to the family at the beginning of the negotiation but later agreed to collect the sum of N10m.
