Abductors of the Vice-Chairman of Ifedayo Local Government Area of Osun State, Debo Farounbi, have demanded a fresh ₦30 million ransom, 59 days after he was kidnapped.
Saturday PUNCH gathered that the kidnappers were paid ₦30 million about four weeks ago at an undisclosed location.
However, instead of releasing Farounbi, they have now demanded another ₦30 million.Credible sources among council workers and residents of the community confirmed the development on Friday.
A staff member of the local government, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the abductors also demanded a car in addition to the money.
“The kidnappers had earlier demanded a sum of ₦30m and diabetic drugs (maybe for the vice-chairman). The money and the drugs were delivered four weeks ago, but instead of releasing the vice-chairman, the abductors demanded another ₦30m. I am aware the ALGON is on top of the matter,” the worker said.
