“Days after receiving the ransom, the kidnappers have failed to release the policemen and we are afraid that something might have happened to them," said a family member. “When they were contacted on the phone, the kidnappers said they had travelled, promising to release the men when they returned, but we don’t understand what they meant by that.”Despite allegedly collecting N1.
However, not ready to pay the ransom the Federal Capital Territory Police Command deployed 20 policemen to Gwalluyi community, where the abduction occurred, and its neighbouring communities in search of the missing cops. The worried relations also raised additional N400,000, amounting to N1.4m, which was delivered to the kidnappers by a police officer attached to the Federal Criminal Investigation Department identified as Danladi.
A family member expressed apprehension over the safety of the cops whose names he declined to disclose for security reasons.
