He added that after several appeals to the kidnappers for a further reduction of the ransom, they agreed to release her in exchange for N300,000.
He said, “We are grateful to God that Ajoke has been released by the bandits. She was released around 7pm on Wednesday after a ransom of N300,000 was paid. “The kidnappers first wanted N50million but they later reduced the money to N500,000 when they understood that her family and friends will not be able to get such an amount.
“But after much appeal to them , they told her family to pay the sum of N300,000 that was in their possession. That was how she was released from captivity.”All rights reserved.
