“They told us to arrange N50 million before my father could be released.

“The discussion was so brief and sharp with a threat that some people have paid for my father to be killed, that only a higher amount would save him.”

Menyene disclosed that the Lexus SUV of his father, with which the kidnappers whisked him away, had been recovered after it was abandoned at the Ekparakwa axis of Oruk Anam LGA.

The spokesman of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command, Odiko Macdon, said: “We can confirm the recovery of the car.

“The police have nothing to do with ransom, but I can assure you that soon the hoodlums will be apprehended and brought to justice because the Commissioner of Police, Olatoye Durosinmi, who is personally directing the operation, has zero tolerance for crimes.”
