Orbunde who is currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital in Makurdi for injuries he sustained from gunshot, told a close family member that the abductors spoke to him at about 8:30 am on Saturday themselves and through the captives.

According to him, “his wife and house help were very calm when they spoke with him.”

He revealed that during the attack which took place at about 6pm, the gunmen were speaking Fulani among themselves and communicated with him in Hausa saying they would contact him on phone.

Orbunde said they told him that he should be prepared to send money to them, vowing that if he failed to do that, they would kill his wife and maid.
