However, the family members were said to have offered the kidnappers the sum of N2million, noting that there was no way they can raise the N70million ransom demanded.
“The kidnappers are in touch with the family of Prof and they have demanded the sum of N70 million, but we are appealing that they should collect N2 million because we can not raise anything more than that due to the public holidays declared by the Federal Government for the Easter celebration,” the source said.
