A Twitter user identified as jaguar_story has revealed how kidnappers who abducted his younger brother released him after the family paid just N20,000.
Sharing the news, he disclosed that the abductors initially demanded N100,000 but agreed to N20,000 when their mother spoke with them.
Though some Twitter users told him it was a planned act while urging him to ask the younger brother some questions but he argued that the family was lucky and there’s an alarming hunger in the country.
Kid bro kidnapped!
There is an alarming level of hunger in Nigeria.
Yesterday, I received a call from my mom informing me that my younger brother had been kidnapped. The kidnappers contacted my dad, who then reached out to me.
I decided to call them to inquire about their demands, but my impatience got the best of me, so my mom had to speak with them instead. We anticipated that they would ask for a ransom, which they indeed did, and it was a shocking revelation.
They instructed my mom to bring 100,000 naira, but she negotiated and ultimately ended up paying 20,000 naira to the Pos account they provided. After the transfer was made, my brother was released.
When my friend learned about my brother’s kidnapping, he was taken aback upon hearing that we had paid only 20,000 naira. This incident highlights the desperate state of hunger prevailing in the area, which drives people to engage in criminal activities.
We were lucky!
