Kidnapped FRSC officials claim they paid N6m each for ransom, accuse police of lying
Newsie Events:-
The Nasarawa State police spokesman, Ramham Nansel has been accused of lying by the six Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officials who were recently released from their abductors.
Ramham was quoted as saying that no ransom was paid for the release of the Six FRSC Officials.
“They were rescued by the security agencies comprising police and soldiers supported by vigilante groups and hunters.”
However speaking to BBC Hausa Service, the FRSC officials accused the police spokesperson of lying and also revealed that they paid between N5-6m each to secure their freedom.
One of them said “What the police are saying is a big lie, there is no element of truth in it, the kidnappers established contact with our relatives, the money was withdrawn in Nasarawa town.
“They instructed that only the driver should come with the money; when the driver brought the money, they kept us aside and counted it to ensure it was complete, but because it was getting dark, they did not finish and asked the driver to go with us while they also proceeded into the bush shooting in the air.”
Another victim whose leg was amputated as a result of the gunshot from the incident said;
“We paid ransom through our relatives before we were released; some paid N5m, others N6m.”
