hmmm.....Some yet to be identified bandits in Nigeria have hijacked 14 travelers with a massive ransom money slammed on them.
14 passengers travelling from Warri in Delta State to
Port-Harcourt, Rivers State have been kidnapped by gunmen at Rumoji near
Port-Harcourt and the kidnappers are demanding a ransom of one million
Naira to secure the release of each passengers, bringing the ransom to a
total of 14 million Naira.
The kidnapped passengers had been travelling on Monday in a
14-seater bus owned by one of the popular transport companies (name
withheld) when they were ambushed by the gunmen.
All passengers and the driver were taken captive. A security agency
connected to the transport company later recovered the bus from where
the incident happened.
The kidnappers contacted victims' families asking for a ransom of 1
million Naira for each victim. However, following negotiations it was
reportedly reduced to N100,000 for each victim. Security agencies are
reportedly carrying out investigations that will ensure the victims are
released unharmed.
The owner of the transport company is reportedly also doing all he can to ensure their release.
The Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP. Zanna Mohammed Ibrahim,
confirmed the incident and said it occurred at Rumoji in Port-Harcourt,
Rivers State.
