Adeyeye added that the kidnappers initially demanded N500 million but reduced it to N300 million during negotiations.
“The bandits called us on Sunday and said they had reduced the ransom to N300m. We pleaded with them to accept N5m, but they rejected our offer. They said they were giving us one week to meet their demand or else they would k!ll the abductees. They threatened to attack the community again and that this time, they would k!ll a lot of people. The bandits also claimed responsibility for the attack on the Ejiba community in Kogi State,” Adeyeye said.
