Bandits Assassinate An Abuja Resident!

 Olayinka Ogunyemi, an Abuja resident, was allegedly executed by robbers even after they had paid a N23 million ransom. 

As per Daily Trust, the dead is among the seven individuals kidnapped from the Kuduru community within the federal capital territory (FCT). After the captive families refused to give the N290 million asked, he was slain.

The bandits contacted on Friday, February 23, to inform people about the construction engineer's killing, an insider told the publication. 

The informant stated:  “The bandits called us yesterday that they have killed engineer Olayinka Ogunyemi. The bandits threatened to kill the remaining captives if N230 million is not made available as ransom. Those still in captivity include one and half year-old boy, two siblings, a pregnant woman and two men.

“N23 million has been paid, food sent and other items they demanded but none of our people has been released. We are appealing to the federal government, the police and the army to step up efforts to rescue our people because their abductors said Nigeria has offended them and they would retaliate.”
