The family of President Goodluck
Jonathan has said that it can not cough
out N500m ramsom demanded by the
abductors of Chief Inengite Nitabai.
DailyPost reports that the kidnappers had
contacted the family and demanded
N500m ransom as a condition for the
freedom of Nitabai, who is believed to be
Jonathan’s adopted father.
One of the children of the victim on
Saturday night, told Punch that the
amount was outrageous, saying that the
family members were still confused on
what next to do.
The child who doesn't want his name
mentioned said the kidnappers’ demand
had stirred serious tension in the family.
He said, “The amount the kidnappers are
demanding is too high. Where do they
expect us to raise such money?
“I am appealing to them to release our
father. He is a good man; a God-fearing
individual and symbol of peace in Otuoke
and its environs.”
The abductors had threatened on Friday
to kill Nitabai if the family failed to
produce the money as soon as possible.
He further disclosed that, “the kidnappers
contacted the family four days after and
demanded the sum of N500m.
Negotiations are ongoing between the
family and the captors of Nitabai,”
