Addressing newsmen over the weekend, the victim’s father, Mr. Harrison, disclosed that the money was to be paid on Sunday evening before his Son escaped.
He said: “My son was kidnapped by two armed men who whisked him into the bush on Wednesday before he ‘miraculously’ escaped from the abductors on Sunday.
“God released my son. I did not pay one naira.
“My boy ran from the kidnappers to Kokori, from where he called me.
“I thought it was a joke. We then went in search of him. I took him to Eku for treatment before bringing him home.
“I was only joined by my younger brother, who is the SSA on Security to the Governor, and vigilante members in the search for the boy after receiving his call that he had escaped.”
