Parents of Kidnapped NYSC Member Confirm Refund of Ransom
The parents of a prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who was kidnapped in Imo State have confirmed the return of N6 million that their family contributed towards his release. The abduction occurred on October 1, when 20 prospective corps members were taken on the Owerri-Onitsha Expressway.
Alirat Wahab, the mother, initially stated that the family paid the ransom, while Obasanjo Wahab later confirmed that the money had been refunded. He mentioned that three representatives from the affected families, including himself, were tasked with negotiating for the victims' release.
However, he expressed uncertainty about whether the representatives actually paid the kidnappers. He noted that the kidnappers had requested representatives to bring the ransom, and since they could no longer hold the corps members, they released them.
Alirat also confirmed that all families received their contributions back and expressed gratitude towards the Imo State Government for their assistance in the situation.
