Kidnappers Killed Victims Abducted On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Whose Family Could Not Pay Ransoms – Woman Narrates Ordeal

 

A kidnap victim who later regained freedom has narrated that kidnappers killed victims whose family members could not pay ransom.

 

Aminat Taiwo who was kidnapped along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway shared the story following her release.

 

She was released alongside her companion, Tobi Orekoya after her father paid N3.2million to her captors.

 

Aminat revealed on Monday that the kidnappers shot dead some of their victims whose relations could not bring the demanded ransoms.

 

We had earlier reported how Amina, her friend and some other road users were kidnapped last Friday near the Sat Guru Maharaji Garden at the Ibadan end of the expressway.

 

The kidnappers contacted the families of the victims and demanded ransom ranging from N50million to N10million.

 

It was later reported that Aminat, her friend, Prof. Adigun Agbaje, a former deputy vice chancellor of the University of Ibadan, and Olayemi Adejare, a student at the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic in Abeokuta, Ogun State, were all freed on Sunday after being held captive for two days.

 

Speaking with PUNCH, she complained that they were not given food or water throughout the period and stated that some of the captives who did not reach the deadline for paying the ransom were shot dead.

 

The 22-year-old graduate, who described her situation as harrowing, claimed they were ambushed by the kidnappers while on their way to attend a friend's wedding in Ibadan.

 

She said, “Those kidnappers were more than 30; they covered their faces. They were putting on army and police uniforms.

 

Also, Amina’s father, Kayode Taiwo, explained how he raised the ransom for his daughter's release from the kidnappers’ den

 

He said family members and friends supported him before he raised the money demanded by the kidnappers.
