Abductors of Inengite Nitabai, the 70-
year old uncle of President Goodluck
Jonathan, have demanded a N500m
ransom, Sahara Reporters report.
A security source said that the
abductors threatened to kill him if the
family fails to produce the money The source also said the family had
constituted a committee to evaluate
the demand, establish negotiations with
the abductors and facilitate his release.
He said the kidnappers had also warned
against the involvement of security
operatives in the matter.
"The kidnappers contacted the family
four days after and demanded a
whopping sum of N500m. It is believed
that the family of the victim has begun
negotiations with the hoodlums," he said.
Tension and panic set in when the
kidnappers failed to establish any
contact with the family of their victim
three days after he was abducted.
That development was said to have
rattled the Presidency, which reportedly
ordered a massive deployment of
security in Otuoke, the hometown of the Jonathans, and the Niger Delta creeks.
The gunmen abducted Nitabai on
Sunday after collecting about N400,000
from his wife.
