Abductors of the wife and four children of the paramount ruler of Esit Eket, Edidem Ubong Assam in Akwa Ibom State have asked for a ransom of N100million before they would be released. The victims were abducted on Friday in the palace in Akpautong, Esit Eket area of the state. The abductors had contacted the family and demanded for the ransom to release the captives. A source close to the family, who pleaded anonymity, said, “the kidnappers have opened up for negotiations for the release of the monarch’s wife and children.
“There is tension and anxiety in the palace. The kidnappers of the monarch’s pregnant wife and children have demanded N100 million ransom.”
He added that the kidnappers were not ready to bargain the price while talking on phone with members of the royal family, “they issued threats.”
A family member, Norbert Assam, disclosed that the royal father and the family cannot afford such huge amount of money demanded by the kidnappers.
Let's hope Nigeria Police can get on top of this situation and rescue the woman and her kids.
