He said the poor abductees were directed to give grains while the buoyant ones parted with money depending on their financial status.

He said the kidnappers have informants who feed them on the social status of all their victims.

The Chief Imam of the community mosque and children were spared during the raid.

The kidnappers demanded N50 million on the first day but reduced their ransom to N1 million for each of the abductors after negotiation.

Nasarawa police spokesperson, ASP Ramhan Nansel said: ” I don’t know whether a ransom was paid, all I could say is that they released the captives due to the pressure by policemen who were trailing them”.
