Bandits have made a ransom demand of 100 million naira for each of the 38 abducted members of the CAC church in Eruku, Kwara State.
According to reports from a reliable source, the kidnappers have initiated contact with the families of the victims, who were abducted during a church service on Tuesday. Chief Olusegun Olukotun, a community leader and Olori Eta of Eruku, confirmed this development on Thursday, November 20.
He stated that four of his relatives were among the kidnapped victims. Olukotun, who was in the church with five of his family members when the incident occurred, stated that he and one of his wards escaped the attack around 6:06 p.m. through the church's window.
The kidnappers have made contact with community members and are demanding 100 million naira as ransom for each of the 38 victims. "From what we gathered from the kidnappers' camp, they have grouped the victims according to their relations and are now calling our people through each of the groups.
Some people in the community have received calls from the kidnappers demanding 100 million naira for each person, but regarding my own people, I have not received any calls concerning them, so I am still waiting," he said.
