Abductors release Osun farmers, others held

Sources said they were released alongside one other person, said to be a driver, late on Tuesday after a sum of N6 million ransom was paid to their abductors.

However, it was learnt that the elder brother of one of the victims and a community leader that also went with the team that took the ransom to a community in Kwara state were still being held by the abductors. The PUNCH reports that three people sent to deliver the ransom to the abductors on Monday were held by the gunmen after collecting the money.

The perpetrators were said to have made fresh demand of N24 million before all the five people in their custody would be released.
