A man who lives in Taraba State was
kid.... napped.
The kid.. nappers demanded ₦50 million as ransom. After his family sold his properties and car, they were only able to raise ₦30 million.
They pleaded with the kid.. nappers, who later agreed to accept the ₦30 million.
They instructed that the money should be delivered to a local government area called Karim Lamido. They also demanded that only one person should bring the money, warning that any slight mistake would cost the man his life.
When it was time to take the money, every family member said they could not afford to take such a risk.
The man's son was willing to take the money, but he was still a small boy and not yet 20 years old.
After a few days without hearing from the family, the kid.. nappers threatened to k! ll the man.
His mechanic, who had recently worked on his car and lived in the same area, heard about the situation. He visited the family and was informed about what was happening.
The mechanic accepted to deliver the ransom to the kid... nappers.
Early the next morning, he left for Karim Lamido. When he got there, no commercial motorcycle rider was willing to take him to the location described by the kid.. nappers, so he had to trek for almost two hours.
Throughout the journey, the kid.. nappers stayed on the phone, directing him at every turn. The route was mainly cattle paths rather than roads people normally used.
When he reached the second forest, he saw two men waiting on a motorcycle. They called him over and told him to follow them.
According to him, one of the men was carrying an AK-47 r!fle. He sat between them on the motorcycle, and at that moment, he said his final prayer.
The journey took another two hours before they arrived at another location, where four more men were waiting. They confirmed the money.
He did not see the kid... napped man there, but the kid.. nappers assured him that the man was alive and would be released immediately after the money was confirmed.
