A parent of one of the 20 prospective NYSC members abducted in Imo State has revealed that the family paid ₦6 million in ransom to secure the release of their son.
The parent made the disclosure during an interview with News Central TV, explaining that the family raised the money through contributions from relatives and others before borrowing to complete the ransom.
“We paid 6 million from our own side,” the mother said.
When asked how the family was able to raise the money, she said, “it was people that were helping and contributing for us before our money could complete. We even had to borrow to complete it to be 6million.”
When the interviewer noted that the Imo State Government had claimed the kidn@ppersdid not collect any ransom, the woman’s husband insisted that payments were made.
