One of the four corps members kidnapped in Ifon, Ose council area of Ondo State, Patient Andrew, has shared her harrowing experience with the kidnappers. According to Patient Andrew, the abductors initially demanded a staggering N30 million ransom per person but eventually reduced the amount to N3 million and later to N1 million each.
Patient revealed that the kidnappers forced them to sleep in the bush throughout the day, surrounded by the sounds of wildlife and farm animals. The corps members were led through a thick forest without encountering anyone until their release.
The kidnappers had also demanded food items, including Hollandia yogurt, loaves of bread, Peak milk, malt, Fearless energy drink, YES cigarettes, and packs of rice and chicken, in addition to the N1 million ransom per person. Andrew confirmed that their families complied with the demands, leading to their eventual release. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of corps members serving in the region.
As reported by The Vanguard News, Patient Andrew said, “At first they asked for N30 million per person, but as the negotiations were ongoing, they brought it down to N3 million per person. But after much negotiation, they now asked us to bring N1 million each. We slept inside the bush throughout the day; we heard the bark of a dog and the sound of a cow in the bush, and we passed through farmland when we were coming out. As we walked through the thick forest, we didn’t meet anybody. Our brothers came with what they asked for, which is 3 Hollandia yoghurt, 2 loaves of bread, one carton of Peak milk, one pack of malt, 5 bottles of Fearless energy drink, one pack of Yes cigarettes, and 10 packs of rice and chicken and N1 million each…..See _ More
