Two weeks after, abductors of PDP Chairman contact family, demand N500million ransom
The abductors of the Edo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, have reportedly contacted his family members almost two weeks after he was kidnapped.
This was disclosed to journalists in Benin on Sunday by one of Aziegbemi’s family members who pleaded anonymity.
The family source said that the kidnappers made their first contact with the victim’s family on Friday.
He added that the kidnappers asked for a ransom of half a billion naira (N500 million) as ransom to free Aziegbemi.
This was just as the source declined to disclose what the family members were doing to raise the demanded ransom, just as he kept mute on the reactions of Aziegbemi’s party, what the PDP might be doing to assist them.
When contacted, the State Police Command spokesman, Chidi Nwabuzor, said the police were not aware of the ransom demand.
