 Abductors of Kwara APC chiefs demand N50m ransom

The men, who kidnapped the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani, and the party’s secretary, Chief Bode Adekanye, have demanded a N50 million ransom for their release.

It was learnt that the abductors made the demand Friday night when they allowed the APC chieftains to speak with their family members.

A close aide of Adekanye, who spoke with newsmen in confidence, confirmed the development and claimed the abductors were told to accept N10 million and that they agreed.

“In fact, our people are on their ways to Okene-Lokoja axis for a possible location of the abductors’ hideout with a view to paying the ransom and securing the release of our chairman, and secretary,” he said
