“They contacted us demanding for #10 million ransom 48 hours after, with stern warning not to inform the security agencies or they’ll kill the abductees.
“They initially asked us to gather the money and deliver it to their agent at Oko olowo, here in Ilorin, which we agreed to, only for them to change the delivery point under the guise that we’ve made the delivery point public.
“After back and forth negotiations, they reduced the money from #10m to #3m which we agreed to deliver at a location at along the Zaria-Kano expressway, Kaduna State.
