The Transitional Implementation Committee (TIC) chairman of Ekiti local government area, Chief Kehinde Bayode, confirmed this to LEADERSHIP yesterday.  “The kidnappers have got in touch with the family demanding for N100 million ransom which has now been reduced to N40 million. We are still negotiating with them and right now, I’m on my way to Koro to get the latest information on the negotiation. We will continue to brief you as the situation unfolds and we will keep you posted,” Bayode said.

Last Friday, the kidnappers reached out to the monarch’s family for the payment of N100 million ransom for the release of the two abductees.

The TIC chairman also disclosed that a suspect had been arrested in connection with the incident.

He said,  “The arrested suspect was found with foreign currency and I have got in touch with the DPO in the area not to release him.” However, the spokesperson of Kwara State Police Command, Toun Ejire-Adeyemi Adetoun did not confirm the arrest of any suspect.
