Mr Olasinde, who arrived in Abuja on Saturday, said their captors called his brother-in-law to demand a N100 million ransom.
“But at the end of the day, they asked us how much we had with us.
Mr Olasinde, who said they were able to raise about N2.8 million, said the kidnappers directed them to bring the ransom Saturday night.“They told us to go to Kabusa Village and pick any Okada rider to a place where we did not know.“When we got to the thick forest where they were, they came out, collected the ransom.“It took about 40 minutes before my wife and daughters got to the point where we waited for them.
