Family, Ondo monarch’s abductors disagree on N40m ransom

Kidnappers of the Laragunsin of Iyansan in Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State, Oba Abiodun Oyewumi, and the family have disagreed on the ransom to be paid before the monarch could be released. 

While the kidnappers requested for N40 million, the family offered N500,000.
The kidnappers, however, described the amount offered by the family as paltry for the foremost monarch of Ikaleland. The monarch was abducted from his palace on Monday night by gunmen who came through Owena River.
However, 96 hours after, the kidnappers yesterday opened line of communication through the monarch’s son, Folarin Oyewunmi, who was in the palace when he was abducted about 10p.m.
Folarin said the kidnappers called his mobile line and requested that recharge cards of N40,000 be sent to them as a prelude to opening discussion on the release of the monarch with the family members.https://newtelegraphonline.com/family-ondo-monarchs-abductors-disagree-n40m-ransom/
