They said he later recovered and took the news of the incident to town.
According to the account, the family said they informed the police and the political authorities in the state about the kidnap of Mr Alabi and subsequent demand for ransom but received no support. On Tuesday, the ransom was delivered for Mr Alabi’s release. However, what they found was a man who had been battered from beating by the kidnappers.
